Invoice block release

Once the goods receipt occurred that the standard SAP invoice release program would release the MM document payment block. There are quite a few times we do not get GRs (Samples and Promo) and these MM invoices do not get released.
For the above requirement currently they are manually relasing invoice block using MRBR transaction, but I need to automate the MRBR process by new custom program, I can get all the MM blocked invoices but how do we relase the blocks?. What transaction can be used to release this blocks?.
Valuable inputs will be awarded, appreciate your help

Dear Alex,
In standard, MRBR, You can only use automatic release for the blocking procedure Blocked due to variances.(tick the release automatically).Others than this , you need to manually release it.
As i know the release program just change the value of BSEG-ZLSPR from blocked to "free for payment " (value "space" in table).

Audit report for block/release Vendor Invoices

Dear Experts,
I need a report for Internal Control purposes that traces the block / release invoices per Vendor, with the respective reasons, users involved , date, invoices amount.
Is there any standard report for it ?
Thank you for your help

Your Problem will be solved by using the transaction code AUT10, select the transaction code MRBR
You can find your solution by getting the report on from the table BSEG

Block release of invoices to accounting in VFX3

Dear All,
Our client wants to restrict some invoices getting released to accounting in VFX3 based on some criteria. A related requirement was that based on the same criteria, account posting should be blocked during invoice creation as well. For this purpose, we used user exit USEREXIT_FILL_VBRK_VBRP to set VBRK-RFBSK to 'A' which acts as a posting block when the invoice is created.
However the same document if released manually in VF02 or VFX3, it gets released to accounting. Here, we need a user exit to block / allow accounting document creation based on some business criteria.
Regards,
KC

Hello Krishna,
There are couple of way to do the same.
1. Goto transaction "VOFA" and tick the box of posting block, in case you want that the document should not be proccessed manually.
2. Make the changes to the user-exit, 'RV60AFZC'. Just assign VBRK-FRBSK to 'A' in the function, userexit_fill_vbrk_vbrp, main program SAPLV60A, include RV60AFZC.
The statement, vbrk-rfbsk = 'A'. will suppress automatic posting

Difference between deleting invoice blocking reason and releasing blocked i

Hi - in mrbr we have two options - one is to delete a blocking reason and the other is to release the invoice.
It appears that it is possible to delete the blocking reason and this releases the invoice for payment.
It is also possibel to releease the invoice without deleting the blocking reason and this has the same effect.
Why do both things appear to do the same?

Hi,
The both cases differ in approach, we use delete blocking reason if there is any block existing for the Invoice and after that if the system finds no other block on Invoice header ten the Invoice is automatically released, however if we go for direct release then only those Invoices are released which had blocking reasons but some business transactions have nullified the block already.

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.

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 Block - Tolerance Key - Can currency can be changed??

Hi Gurus,
We can set the below in SPRO,
Material Management->Logistic Invoice verification->Invoice Block->Set Tolerance Limit-> Here we can maintain for company code / Tolerance Key and details.
While we maintaining the tolerance key, depending upon the company code, the currency is defaulted. (Currency field is display status).
1. We have a request to change this currency to different currency? is it possible?
2. I find about 14 Tolerance Keys. Are these tolerance keys provided by SAP. Can we define or redefine tolerance key? if so, where?
Kindly inform me the above details.
Thanks and Best Regards,
Mohan

hi,
Example:
Suppose if you have set the del. cost in the PO as A...
After this you do MIGO...
And then you come to MIRO, and in between suppose if the delivery cost increases or decreases(may be due govt. rules),
then in that case you try to save amount/pay more to the vendor.. or
In case if any or your employee is not entering the del. cost properly, then in that case, system shd check internally and throw a message for you and if req. block the invoice...
So, in that case just for precautions you use the this tolerance key...
if in case this happens assuming with my first example then you may need to release this IR manually..
Formula i have provided above by which system calculates this all..

Invoice block when material in Quality

Hi
If the material is goods receipted into quality stock, i know that you can block the material for payment by maintaining the quality control key 0007 in the material master which (delivery release, invoice block) asks for the quality inforecord maintenance. The control key generally blocks the invoice till the material is moved to unrestricted
I need to know without maintaining quality inforecord whether it is possible to block the payment for the material.
Any alternate Quality control key in the material master which prevents vendor payment when material is in quality at the same time does not asks for Quality Inforecord maintenance.
Regards
Arvind

Hi,
You can block the payment at Invoice level,then during ur invoice entry(MIRO),just go to payment tab(after basic data) and in the field of pmnt block enter your criteria like PAYMENT BLOCK as bolcked for payment or other criteria as u required.After Quality inspection , you release the invoice and make payment.

Invoice block

Dear Expert,
My manager wants to implement Below scenario:
Invoice should block until we accept the material whatever material we buy from vendor for with account assignment or without account assingment. and with material master or without material master.
Currently,
Invoice can be verified after goods received even the material posted to QI stock. We are not using QM module.
Need to implement: My manager want to block the invoice until we use the material or made a decision that material is good. we don't want to pay them right of way at GR. Some how need to block the invoice.
Please advice me. It is very urgent. After paying the vendor and found material is not good. In that case we need to do cancel document. So he do n't to do that frequent.
Thanks, good idea will be rewarded

Hi,
You will raise a PO, against PO you will post GR, Quantity will be in Quality Inspection stock. After giving the Usage decision(Acceptance of material) from Quality Department , then only you should be able to post the Vendor Invoice. If you hvent given the usage decision system has to stop if you are trying to post Vendor Invoice in MIRO. This is what I understand from you thread. Pls correct me if im wrong.
This functionality/scenario is available with standard settings.
The only thing is you hve to maintain the Basic setting for Quality management and you hve to maintain QM view for material master and you hve assign Inspection lot as 01.
In material master Quality Managment view in "QM control key" field mention "0007"(Delivery release Invoice Block).
If you maintain these setting if the material is in quality inspection you cant post Vendor invoice in MIRO.
Once you post GR, system will create Inspection for GR qty then you hve give usage decision in QA11 transaction. Then you post Vendor Invoice.
Hope this is clear, still if u hve any questions let me know.

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.
With regards,
B.Ravindranath

Invoice block removal due to quantity.

Hi ,
Is there a standard workflow to remove invoice that is blocked due to quantity mismatch.
Or is there any other simple way to do that ?
Regards
Immanuel D

I will assume that your title is correct: it is the invoice block you want to remove and not the invoice itself.
There is a transaction which will remove blocks for which the blocking reason no longer exists. I just can't remember it now, and I don't have access to SAP here, but it is in the SAP menu close to the other LIV transaction. Find the transaction for releasing manually, it should be close to that.

Inv Block release

Hello Gurus
My client has the following scenario:
sometimes, Inv are posted even before the GR is posted ( Inv posted to block)
then the Block release program is run at a certain interval of time to release the Inv block.
My client wants those Invoices for which only the GR is posted alone be removed the block & those for which GR is not posted, the block should not be removed....
is there any option to do the same??

hi naveen.
There's no standard way by which the system will check for only those Invoices for which GR is posted & released by the MRBR Transaction.
The program RM08RELEASE, will look for all the Invoices which are in blocked state & release them.
Per your requirement, you only need to go for new development to suit your requirement.
