GR/IR automatic unblocking

Hi
I have a question regarding the quantity variance in GR/IR 3 way match!
                                                               PO: 20Kg - $60    @$3/Kg
I have received 12kg goods, so                  GR: 12Kg
assumed that I have received Invoice for 20Kg & $60 required to pay
                                                                 IR: 20Kg - $60, when i posted the Invoice it is blocked ...!!!
                          I have checked in ME23N, under status tab, it has shown the above info as
Purchase Order: 20Kg - $60
Delivered (GR):    12Kg - $36
Still to Deliver:       8Kg - $24
Invoiced (IR):       20Kg - $60 (After posting the invoice with 12Kg goods received, this gets blocked)
if check it in MRBR, this shows that there is a variance of quantity 8Kgs
Now I have posted another GR for the remaining 8Kg goods
                       If I go and check the status in ME23N, I can see the delivered quantity being updated from 12Kg to 20Kg
At this point, our PO, GR and Invoice are the same, So in MRBR, I should be able to release it automatically.
But, in MRBR, it is still showing that the quantity difference is 8Kgs (as it has shown earlier).
Does that mean that the second GR is not update in MRBR? How can we unblock the invoice automatically?
Please advice, if any config settings are missing for "Multiple GRs to single PO".
any inputs will be greatly appreciated>>!!!
Thanks!

Hi,
You should double check at the view "Invoice" of item details in PO, whether you activate the indicator of GR-based IV? If yes, I think we get the answer for your question, because your IV is GR-based, after 2nd GR, you still see the difference in MRBR; if you deactivate the indicator of GR-based IV, then you can do multiple GRs for single PO and the 2nd GR will update the invoice status.
Hope it's useful for you
Good luck

User exit/BADI for PO item blocking

Hi All,
Is there any userexit/BADI available for blocking PO item?
We want block PO item based on some header and item data validations. We need an exit which will be triggered before displaying the first screen(In case of PO change-ME22N). While creating/changing existing the item we got the BADI ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST. Here we can set im_item-loekz to value S so that item will be blocked. This is working fine only for creation/Change of item. Because this BADI will be triggered when ever we make some change in existing PO item/Creating new item.
But say we have blocked a PO item now. later we have maintained necessary data which is used in validations. Then when we enter into same PO for next time it should automatically unblock that item.
So we need exit which will be triggered before displaying first screen. If one exit is not available the we can use EXPORT/IMPORT logic to get all the data at one place. Hope there is no confusion in the requirement.
Please let me know if there is any EXIT/BADI available for this scenario.
Thanks for your help in Advance.
Does any one has some solution for this?
Thanks,
Vinod.

Payment Term - Blocked Invoice

Hi all,
I am a beginner in SAP. For a subcontractor (with vendor and customer views created), the payment term used is 0004 (Due at month end).
I received an invoice, and recorded it using MIRO. The invoice is then blocked for payment.
1. May I know if this is due to the payment term?
2. I know I can unblock it using MRBR. But I like to know if the system will automatically unblock it at month end, or do I have to unblock it manually?
I will appreciate your help! Thanks
Cheers,
starrysky

Execute the transaction OBB8 and check for the payment term that is getting blocked at the time of posting the invoice .
In OBB8 check the block key in the relevant payment term for the same .
You can also remove the payment block by changing the document in FB02 .
Else you can also unblock by using the T code MRBR .
Cheers ,
Dewang

VENDOR AUTO PAYMENT

Dear gurus,
I had some problems about making auto payment in AP as follow:
1) When making a down payment, the document is automatically block for payment. It cause difficulties when I want to make auto payment, I have to manual change a lot of documents. Would you please tell me how I can make the down payment document automatically unblock for payment?
2) When I have an invoice with special GL Indicator, SAP separate it with the normal invoice (the invoice with reconcile account in vendor/customer master data). Is it possible if I donu2019t want to separate these kinds of invoice? (Ex: when making auto payment for vendor, I want to make a sum of payable amount, not separate in two lines base on credit account)
Thanks for your answers

Dear,
Thanks for your answer. I had changed documents by mass change function.
But question 2, problem about making auto payment in AP as follow :
I have 4 documents.
Doc1 : Invoice (not SGL) : Credit vendor 1000 USD (reconciliation account 331000)
Doc2 : Invoice (SGL) : Credit vendor 500 USD (3310100)
Doc3 : Invoice (SGL) : Debit vendor 100 USD (1312000)
Doc4 : Down payment (SGL : A) : Debit vendor 600 USD
Run F110 Auto payment --> System seperate 2 payment
Payment 1 include doc1
Payment 2 include doc2, 3
Payment 1 : doc1 --> OK
Payment 2 : doc2, 3,4 --> red (credit 500, debit = 100+600). No posting for payment 2
But my customer require 1 payment include document 1,2,3,4
Payment amount will be : 800 (Debit : 100 + 600, Credit : 1000 +500)
How to create one payment in this case for one vendor ?

Changing Qty in Service Entry sheet after Invoice is posted

Dear Experts,
I have a problem where I hope you may help me.
In my current company we have a process that invoices for Services are scanned and posted automatically. And as SAP Standard pushes to have the GR Based IV and the GR flag set (see SAP Note 175510 and 441371) the Invoice is posted against the Service entry sheet.
In the case of Quantity or Price differences we would need to change the SES as the Invoice is related directly to it. Hence this is not possible. To be able to automatically unblock the PO using the standard MRBR we would need to do that. In all other cases, like adding a second entry sheet and so on the Invoice is not released automatically and this would need to be done manually.
I tried to open the fieldselection on the SES but it did not work out, went in the ML90 and changed it. Any ideas or hints wellcome!!

Hi Suneet,
thanks a lot for the answer. This option is clear, but my question is, if there is any other way to do the change in the SES without cancelling the Invoice. I opened the field selection and allowed with the ombz tx to post the 101 also when an invoice exists with GR-Based IV. As of this I can rewoke the acceptance of the SES but cannot change the qty in it without cancelling the invoice.
Thanks again for your kind support,
MMler

Discount approval

Hi all,
could you please help me out with the following case:
An account manager agrees upon certain discount agreements with his customer. When the value of these conditions is over $ 20,000 a year he needs approval of his Sales manager. We would like to facilitate this in SAP by letting the system block the discount agreement automatically when the value of the agreement is over $ 20,000. When the Sales manager has approved the agreement the agreement is automatically unblocked. My client wants standard SAP, which means no enhancements/modifications and no SAP workflow.
Is it possible to this with standard SAP? And how? I hope anyone can help me out.
Thank you for your reply!
Kind regards,

Hi Wander!
Nice approach: we want only pure standard, but you have to fulfill ALL our (whatever strange) requirements.
Let's see, what might be done:
There is a possibility to limit condition values to a customized range (e.g. 0-20,000 and 20,001-999,999). Then you can restrict authority for condition maintenance to specific condition types. So you could use small and big discount condition types, where the small ones have a different authority group then the other one.
Of course this leads not to an approval process.
There is also a way to have conditions with a release status 'A - proposed, B - checked, C - active', but I don't know, if here an authorization can be linked.
Maybe a mixed approach (small without release status, big discounts only with release status + procedure) can help in your case.
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2004/helpdata/en/a4/af9e78e69611d2ace10000e8a5bd28/frameset.htm">release procedure</a>

You will have (more or less) surely condition formulas or requirements - technically they are a modification. A BADI implementation does not need this - maybe here some learning process on customer side will come.

Event dispatcher slow?

I created a Flash application (ActionScript 3) composed of
dozens of buttons.
The application, just loaded, is extremely reactive to the
buttons pressure.
After a while (i.e.: 10 minutes) of intensive usage,
performances fall down: when I click on a button, gradually
increases the amount of time between the click and the execution of
the associated action (one second, then two, then three, and so
one, without limit!).
This phenomenon occurs in particular under Linux, so I think
this is due to an inefficient implementation of the event
displatcher of the Flash Player.
What do you think?

Hi Wilson,
The reason that locally issued cache operations are blocked is to help avoid injecting more work into coherence and further pushing you towards an OOME. These operations will automatically unblock once you've drained a sufficient amount of items from the event queue. The ultimate problem is that you have a system which can not keep up with the event flow to which you've subscribed. The fact that you hit an OOME when you remove the limit and that you don't when you leave the limit in place is a strong indication that the excessive event flow is in at least part based on the activity generated from the same client. Because of this it seems that the natural outcome of NOT blocking you cache calls is an OOME, so we must block your cache calls. Ultimately it sounds like you need to look into what can be done to reduce the event flow to this client. If you can provide more details on exactly what this client is doing to the cache, and what events and filters it is using we may be able to help track this down. It will also be important to understand how it responds to events, if for instance it responds to an event by issuing more work which will cause one or more events that match your event filter then you've put yourself in a feedback loop which you will eventually not be able to keep up with.
thanks,
Mark

VTP domain migration

Hi,
we're having a problem with the migration of VTP domaing .
For the moment our server switches are vtp server in domain X . Our distribution switches are vtp client in domain X and the access switches are in transparent mode .
The goal is to make our distribution switches VTP server and access switches vtp client .
We already did this successfully for several distrib switches and now we're trying to migrate the main building .( about 21 access switches )
When configuring the distrib switch as vtp server we loose our connection with the access switches and it doesn't come up again . In the past we had a outage of about 30 sec for spanning-tree .
We get the following message on our access switches

Does anybody have an idea about this ? My guess is that it gets stuck with recalculating the spanning-tree .I checked the bugs but nothing seems to match this case.

No its not the same..
Please see this :

Can I turn off the background task for HERE Drive+...

Hello,
I have installed on my new Lumia 1020 the application HERE Drive+ and I have noticed that it starts up a background task. Since I'm not using HERE Drive+ on a daily basis I think I could save some battery if I turn off this background task and it is started automatically only when I'm using Drive+ application. Can I do that?
I went to Settings->Applications->Background tasks and tried to block HERE Drive+. So far so good but when I tried to set to ON (checked) the option "Turn background tasks back on for this app the next time I open it", HERE Drive+ application was automatically unblocked. Is this normal?
I want to know if I can stop the background task for HERE Drive+ and have it automatically started up when I open HERE Drive+ application.
Thank you.
Cosmin Petrenciuc
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It may be something I missunderstand. So if I go to Settings->Application->Background tasks and tap the button "Advanced" I see a list with many applications, and among them there is HERE Drive+. Above this list it is written "These apps can run in the background, and you may not be able to block all of them".
Does this just means that HERE Drive+ application is allowed to run in the background? Do I see in this window the list of all background tasks currently running or it is just a list with the application that could run in background?
Right now I don't have any application running. If I keep pressing on back button the app card list is empty.
Thank you.

GR/IR automatic Blocking & Unblocking

Hi
I have a couple of questions regarding the GR/IR automatic Blocking and Unblocking,
Question 1
Scenario: Looking for Quantity Variance
Purchase Order:           Qty: 10Kg & Price: $20       [@ unit price $2/ 1kg]
Goods Received:          Qty: 6 Kg
Invoice Received:         Qty: 10Kg & Price: $20
When I post the invoice, this invoice gets blocked automatically because GR is 6Kg & IR is for 10Kg.
How can I unblock the invoice automatically with MRBR?
I have tried the following to unblock the invoice automatically:
(1) I have posted another GR for 4Kg against the same PO and checked the blocked Invoice it is still blocked and couldn't unblock automatically
(2) After posting GR for 4Kg, posted Invoice against the same PO for 4kg, but this invoice is showing as a separate one
i.e.,      Earlier Invoice is $20.00-   (which is our blocked invoice)
           New Invoice        $ 8.00-    (new invoice for 4Kgs)
Still I could not unblock the (blocked) invoice automatically with MRBR.
Please help me with unblocking the invoice automatically.
Question 2
How can we set the tolerance limit for quantity difference between GR & IR as ZERO.
In other words, Qty in GR = Qty in IR else the invoice should be blocked for payment. How do we set this tolerance?
All the thoughts/ replys / suggestions are appreciated by rewarding points!
Thanks!

Automatic blocking and deletion flag for temporary unblocked vendors/custom

In XK06, flagging Vendor for deletion, I get warning "vendor xxxxx has open items in company code xxxx". Does this mean open Invoice Items, pending payment in FI? Since this is just warning I can hit enter and go ahead and save.
- YES YOU ARE RIGHT. IT CAN ALSO INCLUDE OPEN PO.
But, I can come back to XK06 and UNflag this same vendor for deletion? How would it affect the open items/POs...etc?
- THAT'S WHY THE MESSAGE IS AN WARNING AND NOT AN ERROR. (My Opinion)
Does basis has to do some sort of execution in order to actually delete the vendor master from the database? Would basis get a error when there are pending open items for vendors flagged for deletion?
- NOT RECOMMENDED. ANY DATA CAN BE DELETED THOUGH. IF YOU ARE ON ECC 5.0 OR ABOVE AND USING SE16N TO DELETE, YOU WILL NOT GET AN ERROR.
What's the advantage of using XK05 (blocking/unblocking) over XK06 (flagging/unflagging for deletion)?
- NOT SURE IF THERE IS ANY ADVANTAGE.

Itunes unblocking itself on my firewall? I do not want automatic connection without my permission how do I fix this

I dont want Itunes to load automatically or to access the internet without asking first. I have tried several times to restrict permissions in the firewall and when I restart the computer itunes has undone by block. What can I do

Good day AMELIASARAH,
One resolution to your issue would be to update your iPhone using iTunes on your computer rather than over the air. This requires much less space on the iPhone as most of the work is done by the computer. See this article for how to do it -
If you need more space for an iOS update - Apple Support

Automatic Blocking of Invoices

Hi All,
Most of us are aware of the MRBR transaction that is used to unblock invoices. We run ours nightly.
Is there a similar transaction that can automatically block invoices if they do not match after entry?
Our reason for this is as follows:
User raises a PO for 10 off some materials.
User receives the goods and posts a GR
The invoice arrives and our AP department enter it onto SAP, of course it does not block because it matches three ways.
The user returns 5 off the items back to the supplier because, they are faulty, over ordered or some other user type reason.
We would now like the invoice to block until the supplier sends in a Credit note or replacement goods arrive.
Currently our system pays the invoice at the due date.
The business problem here is that if the supplier forgets to send the credit note, (oh yes they do), the invoice has been paid and there is no leverage to get the supplier to send the credit.
We have also had instances where users thought that if they reduce the PO price after the Invoice and GR have been entered this would block the invoice for payment. Obviously this also does not happen.
If there were a blocking transaction, these invoices could be blocked for payment until the three way match was once more achieved.
Sugestions for solutions to this business problem please?
Regards
Allen Brooks

Hi
This can be very well solved with introdcution to work for Invoice. How you should make your MIRO transaction is as soon as invoice is raised, it should be blocked with work flow trigger. It should go to User who raises the PO and his manager for Approval. Once approved Invoice should be in released status. Then Finance team can run payment run for the released invoices.
Or other option is AP should create invoice with parked option. Upon confirmation from GR person he should release the invoice. Here actually manual intervention is there as AP will have to receive communication from GR person. This should be done through some sort of communication or mail.
May be for big customer may not be useful.
Hope this helps.

JMS Bridge from WLS to OAS not working; automatic redirection to JMS Port

We have setup a JMS Bridge inbetween Weblogic Server 10.3.0 and Oracle App Server 10.1.3. In our test environment it is working fine. But, in LIVE, we are facing a problem. Firewall is there inbetween OAS and WLS.
1. OAS Admin port 6003, is blocked by firewall. So, from outside environment we can't connect to this port.
2. OAS Port 12401 (RMI Port) is not-blocked
3. OAS Port 12601 (JMS Port) is blocked by firewall
4. We created credential "JMS_USER" while configuring QueueConnFactory at OAS end and used it while setting up WLS JMS Bridge
We are using ormi://172.24.255.59:12401/default as Provider URL from Weblogic while creating JMS Bridge.
Problem
========
While connecting from WLS we are getting the following error from WLS end:
javax.jms.JMSException: Unable to create a connection to "apgst366/172.24.255.59:12,601" as user "JMS_USER".

Question
=========
1) We are requesting for 12401; then why the JMS Port 12601 is being referred?
2) Is there any automatic redirection from OAS end?
3) Will unblocking the 12601 port by Firewall help?
Please help me, as this has become a burning issue for us.
Thanks in advance.

Can anybody please help me?
