Inbound invoice without PO number

Question

Hi,
When we use BAPI_ACC_INVOICE_RECEIPT_POST for posting an invoice without a PO, we are facing major issues.
We have to input vendor account number and the amount. This should be entered in 'ACCOUNTPAYABLE'.
Even though there is the field 'VENDOR_NO' for entering the vendor number, there is no field for entering the amount !!.
Kindly help me to identify where I should input vendor amount as input (either in 'ACCOUNTPAYABLE' or elsewhere).
Also, I am entering GL account number in field 'GL_ACCOUNT' in the segment 'ACCOUNTGL'. But there is not field to enter the amount.
Kindly help me to identify where I should input GL account amount as input (either in 'ACCOUNTGL' or elsewhere).
(Input data:
I can enter header details in DOCUMENTHEADER in the BAPI.
Then we have one line item for vendor account, with fields for vendor account number and amount.
Followed by mulltiple line items for GL account, with fields for GL account number and amount.)
How and where should I enter the following details in BAPI_ACC_INVOICE_RECEIPT_POST (I got suggestion from few sources that this BAPI is the best among the lot for posting inbound invoices wihout purchase order)?
Thanks,
John

Hi,
Materials Management under Logistics Invoice Verification u2192 Incoming Invoice u2192 Activate Direct Posting to G/L Accounts and Material Accounts
When you create an invoice containing only items without reference to a PO, the system cannot copy any information (such as currency or invoicing party) from the purchase order. This means that in addition to the document date and the amount, you first have to enter the following information in the header data:
1. On the Basic data tab page: Currency
2. On the Payment tab page: Baseline payment date
3. On the Detail tab page: Invoicing party
Finally, you enter the item data on the G/L Account and Material tab pages.
Hope HElp U !
