Invoice Block -IR before GR

Dear SAP Gurus,
Please could you suggest me solution for the below question.
Most of the cases Invoice posted before the GR is posted, at this stage client wants to block the invoice's for payment automatically.
After GR posting, probably we can run release program to release the payment blocks
What are the setting we should made to block the invoice automatically? I understand this nothing todo with Finance consultant.
Would appreciate your early responce.
Regards
prab.

Hi,
You can block all invoices to check them again through Stochastic block automatically. If the stochastic block is active and you post an invoice that is not subject to any other blocking reason, it can be selected for blocking.
Please make a note that- A stochastic block is not set at item level, but for the whole invoice. If a stochastic block is set when you post the invoice, the system automatically sets an R in the field Payment block in the document header data; there is no blocking indicator in the individual items.
In Customizing for Invoice Verification, you can define:
-If stochastic blocking is active
-The degree of probability of a block. You set a threshold value and a percentage for this.
If you enter a threshold value of zero and a percentage of 99.9%, all invoices would then be blocked automatically.

Narayana.

Invoice Block due to price variance

Dear Friends,
In invoice verification I have configured invoice block for price variance (PP).
I have mentioned upper limit as 5%.
PO---100
GRN---100
Invoice---120
I have made this as warning message. I want this should not be open for payment before releasing in MRBR. After posting the document in MIRO it shows that invoice is blocked for payment. The payment bock indicator in payment tab in MIRO shows as "R"--Invoice verificatin.
But system allows this document for payment to be done both in f-58 & f-53.
So please tell me how to stop payment to be done before releasing it in MRBR.
Regards
R Panda

Hi
I think you may be missing some settings in FI, thats the reason it is allowing to pay the invoice whcih are blocked for payment.
Please check with your FI consultant
Thanks & Regards

Invoice Verification - Invoice Block

Hi,
I want to block the MIRO document if Inspection Lot for a GR (material) is not cleared or the inspection lot is posted with blocked stock or still the material is in QI (Mov Type - 350)
In material master QM view, I activated QM proc active and selected QM control Key "007"(Del. release, invoice block).
But If I do a MIRO for a GR for which the inspection lot is still open i.e no usage decision is posted , then system is not blocking the MIRO document.
Can some one help me whether is there any other setting to be done to block the invoice if inspection lot is still open/lot is rejected(Mt 350)
Thx
Deva

Dear Deva Rishi,
If a material is defined as being relevant for quality management, goods receipts for this material are posted to stock in quality inspection. Invoices for the material are blocked until the inspection has been successfully completed.
If more than one goods receipt is posted for an order item, an inspection is carried out for every goods receipt. In Invoice Verification, the system reacts differently depending on whether goods-receipt-based Invoice Verification is active:
Goods-receipt-based Invoice Verification is defined in the purchase order.
The invoice is blocked if the inspection has not been completed for the goods receipt.
Goods-receipt-based Invoice Verification is not defined in the purchase order.
The invoice is blocked if any goods receipts are still in quality inspection. If an invoice is posted before the goods are received, it cannot be blocked for quality inspection.

Custom invoice Block into MIRO

Hi Gurus, I need to block an invoice based on the account assignment (internal order). The block should be a 'logistic invoice block' (displayable as a manual block into MRBR).
Some can help me ?
thanks in advance

Alda

AKPT,
Thank you for your response.
My purpose of blocking invoice is If the invoice date is before the PO creation date that invoice should be blocked and should show in MRBR as other invoice verification blocks. I am using BADI - MRM_PAYMENT_TERMS to set a ZLSPR(Payment Block Key) as a custom block, but this is going under Manual block in MRBR and not able to see Blocking reason in RSEG. Please guide me how to do in this scenario.
Thank you in advance.

Invoice block for Usage Decision in QM

Hi All,
My requirement is any Standard Configuration is there to block the invoice when the material is Waiting for Usage decision. We have a made a control key with invoice block and assigned in Material Master QM view, but the system is not blocking invoice, even the material is still in Quality inspection without any usage decision.
regards
Gibi Philip

Hi ,
Have you checked in MIR4/MRBR , Whether you are getting any indicator below the filed Quality.
Also consider some of the help tips provided by SAP.
"If you only want to pay invoices, when the quality management process has accepted goods or waived a goods receipt inspection, you must ensure that invoices are not entered before goods receipt. You do this by planning GR-based invoice verification for the relevant vendors."

LIV: Invoice Block ST Date Variance

Good Morning Gurus'
Question about configuration of invoice block ST for Date Variance.
The definition states that the system calculates for each item the product of amount * (scheduled delivery date- invoice entered) and compares this product with the absolute upper limit defined. This allows relatively hugh schedule variances for invoice items for small amounts, but only small schedule variances for invoice items for large amounts.
The current configuration is to check limit Val. 100.00.
I don't understand what this setting means much less why it is a dollar value. I thought this was about number of days?
Please help me understand what this means.
Thank you

AMS,
Try this,
Its in this perspective, a company as a policy, might not want to allow payments in excess of say $100, paid before the planned delivery date for any vendor.
Typically, no one wants to pay the vendors earlier than required, but due to administrative costs in invoice verification, you would allow invoices will small payments, that is how this amount - tolerance amount is derived, its by policy and the business scenario dependent.
If that would be a case, any payments, in excess of $ 100 will be blocked for review by the FI, so, to release on exceptional cases, or wait till the block gets released on its own.
Is this better?

Invoice blocked for qty reason, but condition type deleted from the PO

Hi Gurus,
I have an LIV with R block in the header level. The invoice contains a line item for planned delivery cost condition type FRB1 which was entered manually during PO creation.(no condition record exists for FRB1). But the condition type FRB1 is missing from the PO line item now and when trying to release the invoice block via MRBR, it gives the message that the 'list is incomplete'.
The PO is not having any release strategy and the invoice number is available in the index table RBKP_BLOCKED.
The condition type FRB1 got deleted from the PO on re-triggering the pricing. The business needs the pricing to be carried out on the shipment date from the vendors site. So when the vendor issues the goods, the same is updated in the pricing date field in PO line item and the pricing is re-triggered. So in this case the happenings were in the below sequence.
1. Buyer created PO with manually entered FRB1 condition type.
2. Invoice posted against the PO.
3. When vendor has shipped the goods, the ASN updates the pricing date in the PO and carries out re-pricing. The FRB1 got deleted from the PO on re-pricing as no condition record existed.
4. Goods receipt posted
5. Trying to release the invoice in MRBR, but the system gives the message that the list is incomplete.
Please suggest how to go ahead with the resolution of the issue.
Regards,
Greg

Hi Greg,
Are there any a/c entries showing in GR a/c doc for this cond type? I think it could be a bug when you run the ASN Idoc. Try to un-check Delete indicator for FRB1 which would stop it getting deleted.

Regarding Tolerance Keys for Invoice Block For Payment in MIRO

Hi all,
In customizing, I have defined Tolerance Keys for Invoice Block for Payment. I have defined all tolerance keys for my company code ...... with Absolute as well as Percentage Limits. But whenever I am doing MIRO & testing for my Block Codes effectiveness, i am finding that everytime my Invoice gets Blocked by Tolerance Key PP(Price Variance) or by date......but not by any other like BD, BW, KW etc. Can anyone help me as how I should check for this. I even tried to study the documentation part available in customizing, but was unable to understand the term like Order Price Quantity units.......Can anyone help me in understanding this thing ........
Regards.....

Hi Ganesh,
below is the user exit where you can check the tolarance and put the Block according to the your requirment.
User Exit name - MM08R002 -User exit for tolerance checks
in the above user exit you have to use the below Function exit.
1) EXIT_SAPLMRMC_001
2) EXIT_SAPLMRMP_001
we implemented the above user exit to put the payment block based on the checks.
You can find the documentation of the above exit in the system.
Thanks

Invoice blocked for payment without GRN(MRBR)

Hi all,
I need to have a report which should show the details of invoices blocked for payment and which dont have any GRN means Invoice is generated without GRN and hasbeen blocked because of either of quantity or price difference.
For the same I tried to use MRBR report but it is showing all the invoices blocked but what I need is invoice generated and blocked for payment without having a GRN as base document.

Hi,
You can use ME2L but in MRBR report better use filter and sort documents by blocking reason R1 (Missing GRN), this should solve your purpose.
Hope this helps you. Any point?
Regards
Bharat

Invoice blocking

HI,
Iam configuring Invoice block - set tolerance limits in logistics invoice verification. it listed some standard tolerance keys like AN, AP, BD,BV etc, is there any place where i can create one new custom tolearnce key. my business requirement is if the total amount in the invoice varies from the total amount in the purchase order then it should be automatically blocked for payment. can anyone help me with this.
Thanks,
Monica

Monica,
Please keep in mind that total amount is for line item but not for total PO amount (PP tolerance key).
Are you looking for total line item amount or gross amount of invoice?
If you are thinking of total line item, you need to activate "Item Amount Check" too in SPRO.
Award if useful to you.

Invoice Block with Qty Variance

Hi All
In one of my scenarios
PO = 100 Qty - Overdelivery Tolerance - Unlimited
GR = 120 Qty
But as far as MIRO is concerned - my requirement is MIRO should be booked for PO qty only i.e. for 100. (Vendor Liability should be for PO Qty only)
System takes 120 by default from MIGO. Fine, atleast in this case I should be able to set Invoice Block for the Payment.
Currently for the Invoice Block - for Qty Variance Key - DQ - System considers the difference between MIRO Qty & MIGO Qty which zero in my case. So system doesnt set any block.
Any suggestion ?
Thanks a lot.

Hi
I have already tried both of the options, but not working.
In fact, I couldnt get the PO qty in the MIRO by default still after setting the Indicator - GR Based IV - False, in one of the other issue also.
As far as DQ settings are concerned, they are confined to the MIRO - MIGO qty (If I am not wrong), but here the PO qty is in the question.
Kindly suggest
Sumit

Invoice Block in all cases

Hi to all
I need some help for an issue.
The problem is that all invoice posted via MIRO are blocked, even Invoice it's higher, lower or equal to the PO or GR... it's blocked in all cases...
But isn't all, because the strange thing it's that this Invoice Block happen in one Plant of the Company Code, only in that....so, I can't find a Config where I can set tolerances for CoCd and Plant....
I made a change, and modify the tolerances config of the CoCd like other ones, but the problem still happen only in that Plant of that CoCd...
Hope you can help me with this...
Regards

Hi
Tks for the answer
I made some changes in the tolerances, and I got no block for payment for Invoice with amount equal to PO, but in cases that I put amount superior or inferior, just do not post or block the invoice... and in this case should post and block.
Any other ideas? Tks!!
