Gr for invoicing plan?

Hi,
Can we have GR for invoicing plan? If yes, what impact it will make? I no...than what is the reason?
Regards,
Satyendra

Hi Satya,
I think GR will not be ther for Framework Document pos.
Multiple invoices can be processed. Main point is that invoices must be processed within the validity period spesified in PO. The total value of invoices must also not exceed the limit spesified in PO item. The validity period is spesified on PO Header Level, while the Limit is on Item level. The creation of Purchase requisition is Optional.
Purchase Requisitions doesn't have validity period fields, although the limit can be spesified on item level. So if users create PR's then they could type the validity period simply as text in one of the long text fields.
During invoicing, if the date is outside validity period or the amount is bigger, either a Warning or Error will occur. This setting is done in customising.
Examples on where this business process can be used include: Services: example buying flowers, travel. Perticular if the receipt process is not very formalised. It is also sometimes used for utilities (water, electricity...).
Look at processes where Financial invoices (no PO) are used. To improve control, a lot of vendor invoices could be moved to Blanket Order process.

Payment terms for Invoice plan

Hello All,
I've a Partial Invoicing plan for my equipment purchase. The first milestone payment is along with Purchase order. Means need to pay immediatly.
My PO is having payment terms - Payment 90days after end invoice month. This payment term is ok for all milestone payments. But for the first one, I need to pay immediatly.
Is it possible to have different payment terms / bye pass payment terms for the first milestone?
I don't want to use downpayment option for this.
RaviChandran

Hello.. Thanks for your feedback.
But in IV, normally due date is calculated from baseline date. Base line date will be defined by IV creation/posting date (Based on IMG setting). So by making the START Date for invoice Plan as Past Date will not work.

Chnage log for Invoicing Plan

HI Friends ,
Need your help on the below issue
We are making a customised PO change report
We want to capture the details which was done in Invoicing Plan in PO line item
I tried chaging the Invoicing plan in PO line item but the change log does not show that the chnages are done in Invoicing plan
How to know from PO change report that a invoicing plan has been changed ? Which tables to be seen
I checked the FPLA and FPLT table but not getting any clue on change log for invoicing plan
Please help
Thx
Deva

Hi,
unfortunately there is no change log kept in the standard for the tables FPLA and FPLT. Please check in transaction SE11:
Display technical settings -> "Log data changes".
The logging flag defines whether changes to the data records of a table should be logged. If logging is activated, every change (with UPDATE, DELETE) to an existing data record by a user or an application program is recorded in a log table in the database.
Unfortunately I can only confirm that there is missing functionality
for change management in area of MM invoicing plan. No change documents
are created in CDHDR and CDPOS tables for any change for invoicing
plan.

Why SAP force GR non valuated for invoicing plan?

Hi Xperts,
Need some clarification of why SAP will force for GR non valuated when invoicing plan is chosen. Is there any BADI or user exit to make GR valuated for invoicing plan?
Thanks.

Thanks Priyanka,
But this "special" scenario is different, where there is a GR to be performed (physically and in system) and the business still need the physical invoice from the vendor before they perform the LIV/MRIS. And the invoice is a milestone invoice (partial invoicing plan (%)).
Example:
PO : Qty = 10 ; price = $10 ;
        invoicing plan :
                              01.01.09   50%    $50
                              01.02.09   40%    $40
                              01.03.09   10%    $10
GR : Qty = 6 ($60)
        Debit    Expenses   $60
        Credit   GR/IR         $60
LIV = 50% ($50- Qty 5)
         Debit   GR/IR         $50
         Credit Vendor        $50
Conclusion is during GR, it can be any quantity but during LIV/MRIS, system will read the invoicing plan schedule.
I also believe (i've tried looking all BAdi exist in purchasing) that there is no user exit or BADI to make the GR valuated for invoicing plan.
Really need feedback from all other experts.
Thanks again.

PO Number and Line Item Number for Invoice Plan Number

Hi Experts,
Can somebody please guide me how to fetch the PO Number and respective PO Line Item Number for an Invoice Plan (FPLNR).
In FPLA Table, PO number is available but line item number is not available. If a PO is having multiple line items, different line items will have different Invoice Plan numbers.
Thanks in Advance.
Radha Krishna Madineedi

Hi Ramesh,
I have got the answer after posting this thread. We can get the PO Number and the Line Item from EKPO Table itself by passing the FPLNR.
Anyway, thanks for your reply.

Not working Billing Block functionality for Invoicing Plan

Hi Experts,
I am using Invoicing plan functionality to purchase materials by using Milestones from Network of Project System. The system is allowing to post Vendor Invoice (MIRO) without removing of Billing Block of Invoicing Plan from PO and the system should give error message because of non removal of Billing block.
The following configuration was done in Invoicing Plan of PS.
1. Assigned Date Category to Invoicing Plan Type (30)
2. Assignment of Invoicing Plan Type to Network Profile
The following configuration was done in Invoicing Plan of MM.
1. Assigned default date category to Partial Invoicing Plan type
2. Maintained Date category to Invoicing Plan type
3. Assigned Date proposal category to Invoicing Plan Type
4. Maintained Date Proposal to Invoicing Plan Type
What are the changes needs to do in configuration or transaction to prevent to post vendor Invoice because of nonremoval of Billing block from Invoicing Plan?
Please give me the solution.
Thanks in advance,
Rao

Hi Rao
You need to have the invoicing plan done in Project System (PS) under the project with Milestones and save the plan. On dong this, the system would generate a 'Reference Number'. This can be seen when you again go to the invoicing plan.
Use this reference number in the MM invoicing plan to link the PS & MM plans. This would create a block automatically in MM which can be lifted only on confirmation of the appropriate Milestone in PS.
Hope this helps

Invoice Planning FPLT table

Hi Friends
We are planning to use invoice planning functionality. I have set up everything for invoice plan and able to generete invoice through MRIS . Once invoice are created the invoice status in invoice plan(FPLT-FKSAF) tab of the purchase order refelects completed(C) but if i look at the table FPLT it shows A ( Not yet processed ) . I am querying FPLT table for an report
Can you please advice me why there is inconsistency in the table data ?
Thanks
Auro

Hi Auro,
Please check notes:
456398 Invoicing plan: Status 'C' for not settled date
175516 Update of database table FPLT
The system determinates the state of an line item of an invoicing plan
dynamically when you process the plan over a transaction (for example
ME21N, MRIS).
When you use the invoicing plan, the values are determined dynamically
from the purchase order history. Database table FPLT is not updated. As
a consequence, different entries can occur in field FKSAF in table FPLT
and in the purchase order. The content of this field is only filled by
chance in the database table depending on the transaction/event from
which the invoicing plan is stored (changing, creating ...)
The consequence of that behaviour is that you cannot use the field
billing status (FPLT-FKSAF) for other reporting and analysis function.
Hope this helps.
Kindest regards,
Adam.

Invoicing Plan complete process

Dear All,
Can anybody give the Invoicing Plan config(Periodic and partial) and how to use in PO and finally to pay the vendor.
Regards

Hi
You can use this business process to process invoice plan settlements. The invoicing plan is a facility that allows you to schedule desired invoicing dates for planned procurements independently of the receipt of the relevant goods or performance of the relevant services. It lists the dates on which you wish to create and then pay the invoices in question. You can automate creating invoices triggered by the dates in the invoicing plan.
Steps :
1.Invoicing Plan Types:Define the type of Iof invoicing plan:
Partial invoicing plans, and
Periodic invoicing plans
2.Maintain Date IDs : These are texts briefly describing the relevant dates in the invoicing plan.
for Example
0001     Rent
0002     Maintenance
0003     Contract Conclusion
0004     Engineering/Design
3.Date Categories
Maintain Date Category for Invoicing Plan Type
Define Default Date Category for Invoicing Plan Type
4.Maintain Date Proposal for Partial Invoicing Plans
4..You must Define Rules for Date Determination.
6. Define Invoice Block

Purchase invoicing plan - good entry

Dear all,
I have implemented the invoice plan in purchase order following SAP library ([SAP Link|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/ea/6e1b769e0111d1a39b0000e8a522f1/frameset.htm]) but SAP Library tells do NOT insert the "good receipt" flag in item purchase order. If I insert this flag how can I do the good entry for item? In this case I must create two orders: one for invoicing plan and one for good recipt. It is the right solution?
Thank you a lot.
CM

Dear Atul,
If you have service contract with vendor and do not wait for vendor invoice that time you can plan for automatical invoice on base of PO.
And you can make the payment against that invoice and you can keep the good relation with vendor.
you can use perodic invoice plan for this situation . Please check this link for your more information.

Invoice Plan

Hi
I have an invoice plan containing 5 items and the users have successfully ran the payment run against the 1st line item.
When viewing the invoice plan via transaction me23n the field FKSAF is displaying 'C' (complete) but in the underlying database table fplt FKSAF is 'A'.
Should I be using another table? Any help appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Lovkesh,
You need to customize the following in spro for invoicing plan.
Spro>MM> Purchasing>Under Purchase Order >Invoicing Plan in Customizing for Purchasing, you can maintain data such as the desired invoicing plan types, date categories, and date descriptions.
Set the ERS settlement Delivery indicator in Vendor master also.
Now you can create a PO with FO type and mention the acct assignmt
Enter the item then Select the desired item and click Account assignments to access the account assignment screen. Enter the account assignment for this item.
Click to access the item detail screen.
Check that the GR/IR control indicators on the item detail screen. The indicators GR and GR-based invoice verification or Service-based invoice verification must not be set. IR must be set. You must set ERS if you wish to have Evaluated Receipt Settlement.
Choose Item> Invoicing plan. A window appears, in which the invoicing plan types predefined in Customizing are suggested. Choose the desired invoicing plan type and click Continue.
Hope this helps.

Invoice plan and ERS

Guys,
What is the difference between ERS and Invoicing plan?
Are they both same? In that case, why is the settlement done on Tcode MRRL for ERS and MRIS for Invoice plan....?
Please clarify my doubt.
Happy holidays,
Nureya

Hi ,
Please go through this below points difference between invoice plan (MRIS) and ERS (MRRL) in invoice verification process.
Use of Invoice plan in SAP MM ( Logisitic Invoice Verification )
Through the use of Invoicing Plan for leasing agreements and such like, you aims to considerably reduce the manual data entry effort in the purchasing and invoice verification (A/P) department.
The invoicing plan enables you to schedule the desired dates for the creation of invoices relating to the planned procurement of materials or services independently of the actual receipt of the goods or actual performance of the services. It lists the dates on which you wish to create and then pay the invoices.
You can have the system create the invoices automatically on the basis of the data in the purchase order, thereby triggering payment of the vendor. It is also possible to enter the invoice for an invoicing plan manually. It is recommended that the invoice shall be created via Logistics Invoice Verification ---> Automatic Settlement --->Invoicing Plan Settlement. This
transaction can also run in the background.
Following are necessary customizings and preconditions for using the Invoicing Plan functionality in SAP -
1) You must maintain the settings in Customizing for purchasing (for example, invoicing plan type, date categories, date descriptions, and date sequence proposals). The related path is IMG ---> Material Management ---> Purchasing ---> Purchase Order ---> Invoicing Plan ......
2) The Purchasing document with FO Document Type (Framework Order) must be used. This document type requires that a validity period be entered in the PO header. This specification is adopted in the invoicing plan, provided that this has been predefined in Customizing for the relevant invoicing plan type.
3) The purchase order item must have an account assignment.
4) The Logistics Invoice Verification must be used.
5) The vendor must have agreed to use the automatic invoice creation facility (since we will use automatic settlement to create the invoice). In this case, the 'AutoEvalGRSetmtDel.' indicator must be flagged in the vendor master record.
Furthermore, once Purchase Order is created with order type FO, ensure that the indicators for GR/IR control have been set correctly on the item detail screen. The Goods Receipt indicator may only be set in combination with the Goods Receipt Non-Valuated indicator. The Invoice indicator must be set. For the automatic creation of invoices, the ERS (Evaluated Receipt Settlement) indicator must be also set. A further prerequisite for automatic settlement is that a tax code must be entered in the purchase order.
Please go throuth this SAP help linkl
[Help.SAP.COM|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/75/ee0d3355c811d189900000e8322d00/content.htm]

[ERS|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm30/helpdata/en/fb/8dec38574c2661e10000000a114084/content.htm]

Prerequistic settings for ERS:
1. Vendor master purchasing data ( Flagged as GR-Based Inv Verification: Indicator specifying that provision has been made for goods-receipt-based invoice verification for a purchase order item or invoice item.
Auto Eval GR Settlement Delivery: specifies that evaluated receipt settlement or the automatic generation of the invoices are allowed in relation to materials supplied or services performed
Auto Eval GR Settlement Return: Specifies that automatic evaluated receipt settlement of return items is allowed.
2. Check in Info record to Ensure that No ERS indicator is not checked in the info record for the vendor, Material + Vendor + Plant + Purchase organization.
3. In PO ( Tax code maintain and Ticked GR based IV and ERS indicator )
4. Settled the invoice using MRRL
Difference between ERS and Invoice plan are :
" ERS is the automatic invoice payment settlement to our supplier like EDI payment.
Once we received the GR quantity system automatically settled the payment using ERS t.code MRRL.
" There are two types of invoice plan ( Partial and Periodic invoice plan ) - is used to settled the Rental , period based payment etc using MRIS.
