Invoice block removal

Hi,
I have an invoice for 2 materials from 2 different POs. Both material prices are beyond the tolerance limits and hence the invoice got blocked.
Now, we have a workflow in place for the respective managers to approve the invoice to be paid. As these items are from 2 different POs, there are two managers involved.
Is there a way to remove the block, line item wise?
Regards,
Mike

Hi
Please check whether the payment block reason is set as "Not Changable". In that case you can not remove the blcok manually. The block should be released only through workflow. If that is not set then you can remove the block manually using Tcode FB02.
To check the set up please follow the menu path
SPRO->Financial Accounting->AR/AP->Vendor Accounts->Business Transaction->Release for payment
->Define payment block reason for payment release
Normally the reason is set as Not changable only when all the documents to be blocked for approval.This applies for FI invoices.
For MM invlices you have three blocks viz
Price vairance
Quantity variance
Stochostic block
I hope you can remove the block using FB02. Please check

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.

Invoice blocked due to price

I have a framework po where there are invoiced blocked due to price. The invoices took the total over the po price. PO price was increased, but the payment block did not release when RM08RELEASE was run. Now, when MRBR is run to manually release, these invoices do not show up, yet, on vendor account via FBL1N, they still show "R" block. Can someone explain why this is happening?
Thanks,
Bill

Charlie:
I guess my question is that when the condition that caused the invoice to block, which was price, was corrected, why wasn't the invoice block removed when we ran RM08RELEASE with automatic release processing selected?

Removing invoice block at line-item level

Hello SAP gurus
I've been asked by a client to create a way to delete invoice blocks at a line item level via workflow. The workflow sends a workitem for each blocked line-item that the invoice has. What I need to do now is create custom code that will delete a single line-item block instead of removing the block at the header level. This header-level block deletion will only occur when all the line item blocks are cleared.
I know there are a few programs that exist for doing this at the header level (BAPI_INCOMINGINVOICE_RELEASE, MRM_INVOICE_RELEASE_UPDATE, running a MRBR BDC, etc.), but so far I haven't found a standard SAP code to make this possible at the line-item level. I am aware that making changes to standard SAP table records is heavily not recommended (if not practically forbidden), but the client is insisting they want this functionality and soon. Is there another way of making this line-item block deletion without resorting to modifying the RSEG/RBKP/RBKP_BLOCKED tables? Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi,
If you want to split the deliveries in to number of nvoices general configuration is in Item category use Billing relevence = K (Delivery-related invoices for partial quantity).
At the time of creating Invoice in VF01 give the delivery number and click the selection list on the right side top.
You can split based on your line items.

Invoice Block was not removed though MRBR was ran.

Hi Every One
We have created a Purchase Oreder in SRM and G R( Goods receipt ) and IR (Invoice receipt ) happend in ECC.
My problems is that 42 IRs happend for each one as one quantity in different time zones .The timings are as follows :
On 16 th One IR happend and On 18 th In different times starting from
14.17.38 to 15.55.29 37 IRS happend each one as one quantity .
Mean while on the same day at 14.28.24 GR happend for 10 Quantities .
Users ran MRBR for releasing the Invoice Block R . ( Invoice verification ) .
Now the problem is that despite the fact they have ran MRBR, invoices were not released or cleared ( R Invoice verification block .) for G R happend for 10 quantity.
The Purchase Order had created for 42 Quantity .
Thanks In advance .
Ravindra.
Points are assigned .

check that the documents saved, run MRBR again and check for lock entries and update issues.

Payment Block removed or allow to make the payment after the due date

Hi,
Regarding Payment block, we have created one payment term with block indicator and assigned to some vendors. So each posting system will generate the entry with payment block, once the document crossed the due date (assume that 30days) system wants to allow to make the payment to the vendor without deleting or removing the payment block. Is it possible.
govind

Hello,
For this change, you need to develop a program and need to identify the age of 30 days invoices and remove payment block for those invoices. So 30 days aged invoices can clear.
Logic: go to BSIK and find out ZFBDT of the document and deactivate the ZLSPR (Payment block).
Or
try to find out any functional module or user exit is available while clearing invoices. if available maintain the above logic.

Report on IR block removed

Dear ALL,
please advcie me is there any standard report available in SAP to meet the below requirement.
A report listing PO's were R-Blocked Documents were removed successfully.
MRBR only shows only blocked invoices. i need report on block removed documents.
TIA
KOGI

hi,
Also check ME87...
If you want more details or only details as per your requirement its better to go for SQVI query generation with the help of table EKBE which stores the PO history..

Automatic Billing Block removal in Periodic Billing

Hi guys:
Is there a way to have the billing block removed (not manually) when we use periodic billing? We do not want to manually remove the block each month in order to do invoicing.
Thanks for the input
Aaon

Aaon,
You seem to be using a standard business scenario. In case you have done the customization for Periodic Billing, and set up a billing plan type 02 (periodic), then you must have also set up the 'Next Bill date' routine there. Here, you specify the day of the month (or the date) on which you want your periodic bill to be generated.
Once these settings are in place, there is no need to put your orders on billing block. They will not bill until the date in the plan.
Is this not working in your case?

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?

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 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
