GR-based invoice verification for item category SERVICE

Hi SAP Masters,
I will be very appreciate if you will help me to solve problem related with PO for Services (item category = SERVICE).
When I try to create this kind of purchase order the indicator GR_Based IV become assigned and cannot be changed (field is not active). Is it possible to change this setting and create PO for service where I will be able to save invoice before GR?
If yes, please tell me where I can change this setting?

Hi,
No,
You cannot change this setting, you HAVE to have GR based IV for service entry sheets.
I really don't like the effect of the GR Based IV flag and so I always recommend against using it unless it is absolutely necessary. But in this case it is necessary and can't be switched off.
Have you tried using materials for services (or free text) and "normal" POs, instead of service POs? that way you can have a simple GR instead of the two step GR for services and you can also have the GR based IV flag set OFF.

Sr Based Invoice Verification in PO

HI,
We have configured 3 account groups for vendor master.
1 Domestic.
2.Inport and
3. Service
For Domestic and Service we have made GR Based & Sr Based invoice verifiaction mandatory by configuring through account group and screen layout. Since while creating PO...these information of GR based & Sr Based will flow from vendor master and still user can deactivate while creating PO.For GR based in configuration of PO screen layout i have made it as mandatory, so user caanot even deactivate while craeting PO.So how can i make Sr based invoice verification field mandatory in Service PO.

HI,
Once you have maintained it as a mandatory field in the customer account group and entered a value in the Vendor master.
In the node
SPRO > MM > Purchasing > Purchase order > Define screen layout at document level
Select AKTH create mode and details & Under GR/IR control select GR-based invoice verification as Display. So this would make the entry as checked from Vendor master record and as it is in display mode it would be difficult for the user to change.

Ship to party not copied from PR to PO for item category D

Gurus,
Am populating unloading point and ship to party in a PR for both item category standard (" ") and service ("D"). However during PR conversion to PO, both these fields only get copied for item category standard and NOT for item category service. What is the correct set up so that these fields are copied from PR to PO during PR conversion ? Any customizing point i missed ?
Cheers
Olivier

HI,
I think this is the wrong forum to proceed with this.

Contract, Item category W & 'goods-receipt-based invoice verification'

Hello gurus,
In a contract item with the item category 'Material group', the indicator 'goods-receipt-based invoice verification' (field EKPO-WEBRE) is set.
But, why this should be active?
I need to tell you to my client why SAP is working in this way with item categoy = W - Material group.
Do you know where I can find this information from SAP?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sandra Palomo

Thanks or the answer, but, I saw before this customizing and it does not have nothing about GR-IV, only to Good Receipt and Invoice Receipt.
Do you know where I can find this?
Why is active this GR-IV indicator in the PO when the I have a Material Group Contract (item category W)?

Service-Based Invoice Verification indicator setup automatically

Hi,
How to get the Service-Based Invoice Verification indicator setup automatically when a user tries to create a PO. There is no service master being setup for the sevices carried out.
Bascially the requisiitons are created through Projects based on the services performed and when the PO is created for the same the users forgets to have this indicator checked because of which there are problems which arises going ahead.
We would like to have this indicator setup automatcially so that even if the user - Buyer forgets we dont get problems going ahead.
Answers for this question will be highly appreciated.
regards,
Andy

Hi
You need to set this indicator in vendor master, however if you do not enter item category as D, it will not come default in purchase order. Checking the service based IV in vendor master indicates IV can be done for that vendor with reference to services.
Thanks

SRM PO failed: Indicator for GR-based invoice verification used not allowed

Hi Friends,
I have an issue with a specific PO failed to transfer from SRM to ECC. We are in ECS scenario, SRM 5.0 Service level 7.0. We are in process of SP upgrade but this issue occured in Production system which is still in old SP level(SP 7.0).
when I check the App Monitor, I am see the following errors: but the status shows Auto_Completed
1. PO: Indicator for GR-based invoice verification used not allowed
2. PO: Instance XXXXXXXXXX of object type PurchaseOrder could not be changed
3. PurchOrder XXXXXXXXXX: Purchase order still contains faulty items
4. PO XXXXXXXX: Indicator for GR-based invoice verification used not allowed
I can see the PO copied over to ECC. but status in SRM PO shows 'Error in Process'.
BBP_PD for object PO shows: Created, complete, ordered, In Transfer to Execute, Change was Transmitted as Inactive status. Transfer Failed shows Active, Document completed, created.
I checked BP Maintain for the vendor and PO and its no different than other POs and Vendors except Vendor had 'Goods Receipt based Invoice Verification' indicator checked in SRM.
I tried to simulate the same Material, Vendor with GR-IV indicator both on and off, it works fine. Ofcourse this is in Quality box with SP 15 level.
So, I am not sure if SP level upgrade might help it or not? If there are any other means to test, please advise.
thanks
Rao

I was wondering how I could liquidate the PO by either creating a new PO or ??.
What you could do to revive the PO in question is that after the upgrade, and after a round of background jobs run for CLEAN_REQREQ_UP and BBP_GET_STATUS_2, ask the buyer to make a dummy change to the PO (for example, change the description of the PO) and order again. This would trigger the transfer to the backend again. And hopefully this time, no error would occur.

Goods-receipt-based invoice verification default for material group

Hello experts,
I put by default the option Goods-receipt-based invoice verification when creating a purchase order by tcode ME21N. Now, I would like if possible to only insert the option Goods-receipt-based invoice verification by default for some material group. Is this possible? This behaviour needs to be automatic.
How can I achieve this behaviour?
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
JP
Edited by: Jeyakanthan A on Nov 20, 2011 11:11 PM

Dear JP,
In standard system this is not possible to default this indicator based on Material Group. This can be defaulted from Vendor Master record or Purchasing Info Record or Ticked Manually PO Item Details.
If you look to enhance you system to do this, I would not advisable you to go with this default option because there can be situation that you order some material without Material Master Record (Like a frame work Order) in that case you will not be able to do GR and there can be conflict.
You can create Material Group Info. record and default it from there, but again this for scenario where Material Master Record does not exists(Non Stock).
Hope you find this useful.

Invoice verification for services

Hi Friends,
this is chandra shekar, can any one tell me how to do invoice verification for services.
regards
chandra shekar

Dear,
An invoice for a service can refer to a service entry sheet.
The services actually performed (work actually done) by a service vendor is recorded in a Service Entry Sheet with reference to the purchase order.
Access the activity choosing the Transaction code, ML81 or ML81N Maintain Entry Sheet.
On the Initial Screen, choose "Other Purchase Orders" icon and click this, the system will pop up a new screen.
In this screen in the Purchase Order field give the reference purchase order number and choose [Enter] to continue.
You will get a new Service Entry for this Purchase Order number.
Here, on this screen, choose "Create Entry Sheet" (a white paper icon.)
System allocates a service entry sheet number internally, and you will get the number on your screen.
On the "xxxxxxxxxx Create Entry Sheet" screen, maintain the desired entries under appropriate fields:
Choose Service selection icon at the bottom of the screen to adopt the data.
The system will give you a pop up screen with the purchase order number on that; Choose [Enter] to continue.
The system will give you a new screen Select Services since Reference the services list from purchase order is displayed here.
Choose the line item and choose on Services icon on top of screen.
You can observe the system copied the service line item from purchase order with open item quantity.
Change the quantity per your requirements.
With this the basic information for the service entry sheet is fully completed. As to the requirements, you can fill other fields also if required.
To accept the service, choose the "Accept" icon or [Control] + [F1] (Green flag icon).
You can see the traffic light has turned yellow in color. This means it is ready to save the service entry sheet.
Choose Save.
The color signal for the status display switches from yellow to green.

MIRO invoice verification for Service entry sheet

When trying to do invoice verification for Service entry sheet i am getting this below error pls guide me
Delivery note/service entry sheet 5000000150 does not exist
Message no. M8183

Hi,
You may be saves SES number and now SES is not released!
1st Just cross check PO history TAB of service PO(ME23N), did you have only service entry sheet number or you have service entry sheet number and material document( will be created after releasing SES) with 101 movement type.
You have created service entry sheet (SES) in ML81N and got SES number, so as to recognize the vendor performed service. Next step, you need to accept service by releasing SES( in ML81N by clicking green flag or if release strategy there for SES, you need to release SES in ML85) so that FI document will be created.
Once SES released, then you can do MIRO w.r.t SES only.

Invoice verification for blanket PO with account assignment category U (un

Hi all
While doing miro when i am doing invoice verification for blanket PO with account assignment category U (unknown) system is not allowing me to enter the GL it is disable,wat can be the possible reason
Regards
shailesh

Hi Shailesh,
As you have maintained the account assignment category as U the account assignment tab will not be available. If you want to enter a GL account then use the Account assignments K or F or X.
Else if you want to use U in PO then you can give the GL account and other account assignment details only in the Invoice verification.

PO - GR based Invoice Verification/ IR Indicator

Hi,
I am facing a problem with the IR indicator in PO. The scenario is a SC is created, a PO is created automatically out of the SC and then a GR confirmation has to be done against the PO. I am using a service product.
In the vendor master, I have set the "Goods-Receipt-Based Invoice Verification" indicator and "Invoice Receipt Expected" indicator.
Now, if I create PO manually then these 2 indicators are defaulted into the PO follow-on documents indicator values. However, when the PO is created automatically from the SC only the IR expected indicator is set so I am not able to create a confirmation against the PO.
The same way, if I set the "Invoice Receipt Expected" indicator and "Indicator:GR Conf.Expectd" indicator in the vendor master then only the "Indicator:GR Conf.Expectd" is set in the PO (created from SC) and not the IR indicator.
Can someone suggest to me what could the problem be since a manual creation of PO picks up the indicator values from the vendor but it does not when created from a SC?
Many Thanks,
Saravanan.

Customs Invoice Verification for Partial Qty

Dear All,
I want to do invoice verification for partial quantity of p.o. only in miro for customs vendor. How can the amount will automatically comes in miro screen if i give partial quantity received in that. Suggest me
Thanks & Regards,
Radhika

Hi BSA,
Fistly FYI.
Goods-receipt-based Invoice Verification must be defined in the purchase order.
In goods-receipt-based Invoice Verification, each goods receipt is settled separately.
Goods receipts and invoices are matched up in the purchase order history.
In goods-receipt-based Invoice Verification, it is not possible to post an invoice before the first goods receipt.
In goods-receipt-based Invoice Verification, the invoice quantity should not be greater than the actual delivered quantity. However, it is possible to post a larger invoice amount. You cannot reassign invoices from one goods receipt to another.
When purchase-order-based Invoice Verification has been defined, all items in the purchase order are presented on the selection screen or in the item list.
The suggested quantity is the difference between the total delivered quantity and the total invoice quantity.
When you enter an invoice using the delivery note number or goods receipt document number, the system looks for the corresponding purchase order item and then proceeds in the same way as when you enter an invoice using the purchase order number.
If there are several goods receipts and invoices for a purchase order item, the purchase order history does not tell you which invoice came from which vendor.
For your case it needed to do a MIRO by one GR of one PO.
And in MIRO you can list items by GRs for a PO with GR-based IV. It is true. You did two GRs for one PO then you should have two lines in MIRO, I am sure. Please check more after having a rest.

Bruce

ERS without Gr-based invoice verification

Hi all,
I have a question about ERS, greatly appreciated if anyone can give me some inputs.
I create a PO with ERS flagged but not "GR-bsd IV" in po line item, then I do a PO receipt. I read from help that I cannot run ERS in this case. However, in my understanding ERS is just an IV creation process based on receipts, so if the receipt is already there why can't it just create the IV?
I ask this question because in my business case I would like to have more flexibility. So logically, by flagging "ERS" only I can do the following at any time:
1) Post Invoice before GR.
2) Do GR and then ERS automatically.
Anyone if I can do this? Thanks.

Hi,
The standard SAP system is designed in such a way that when you want to go for ERS, the prerequisites are:
1. Evaluated receipt settlement must be flagged in the purchase order item.
2. The vendor must be flagged as being subject to ERS in the vendor master record.
3. The goods receipt must refer to a purchase order.
Goods-receipt-based Invoice Verification must be defined for the purchase order item.
4. A tax code must have been maintained in the purchase order item.
5. The order price of the materials may not be an estimated price.
If you want to carryout on the way you want, then it involves new development.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Viswanath
