Invoice Planning: Allowing ERS vendor

Hi,
We have implemented Invoice planning. Making our supplier an ERS vendor prevents us from doing the normal procurement process for using the supplier as they are an ERS vendor.
The process of activating the ERS for the sake of using invoice planning, and deactivating for the sake of doing normal procurement is not feasible for us.
How do we use the same vendor for both Invoice planning or ERS and normal procurement (MIRO) processes?
thanks

Hi
you should use vendor subrange. You can see vendor subrange in purchasing view addition data.
Define two subranges. You will have two sets of purchasing data like order currency, ERS tick, schema. etc.
Then you can have two info records based on vendor subrange. So that same vendor you have for ERS and other procurement. It will solve your problem.
See this link for more information on vendor subrange

Invoice plan and ERS

Guys,
What is the difference between ERS and Invoicing plan?
Are they both same? In that case, why is the settlement done on Tcode MRRL for ERS and MRIS for Invoice plan....?
Please clarify my doubt.
Happy holidays,
Nureya

Hi ,
Please go through this below points difference between invoice plan (MRIS) and ERS (MRRL) in invoice verification process.
Use of Invoice plan in SAP MM ( Logisitic Invoice Verification )
Through the use of Invoicing Plan for leasing agreements and such like, you aims to considerably reduce the manual data entry effort in the purchasing and invoice verification (A/P) department.
The invoicing plan enables you to schedule the desired dates for the creation of invoices relating to the planned procurement of materials or services independently of the actual receipt of the goods or actual performance of the services. It lists the dates on which you wish to create and then pay the invoices.
You can have the system create the invoices automatically on the basis of the data in the purchase order, thereby triggering payment of the vendor. It is also possible to enter the invoice for an invoicing plan manually. It is recommended that the invoice shall be created via Logistics Invoice Verification ---> Automatic Settlement --->Invoicing Plan Settlement. This
transaction can also run in the background.
Following are necessary customizings and preconditions for using the Invoicing Plan functionality in SAP -
1) You must maintain the settings in Customizing for purchasing (for example, invoicing plan type, date categories, date descriptions, and date sequence proposals). The related path is IMG ---> Material Management ---> Purchasing ---> Purchase Order ---> Invoicing Plan ......
2) The Purchasing document with FO Document Type (Framework Order) must be used. This document type requires that a validity period be entered in the PO header. This specification is adopted in the invoicing plan, provided that this has been predefined in Customizing for the relevant invoicing plan type.
3) The purchase order item must have an account assignment.
4) The Logistics Invoice Verification must be used.
5) The vendor must have agreed to use the automatic invoice creation facility (since we will use automatic settlement to create the invoice). In this case, the 'AutoEvalGRSetmtDel.' indicator must be flagged in the vendor master record.
Furthermore, once Purchase Order is created with order type FO, ensure that the indicators for GR/IR control have been set correctly on the item detail screen. The Goods Receipt indicator may only be set in combination with the Goods Receipt Non-Valuated indicator. The Invoice indicator must be set. For the automatic creation of invoices, the ERS (Evaluated Receipt Settlement) indicator must be also set. A further prerequisite for automatic settlement is that a tax code must be entered in the purchase order.

Prerequistic settings for ERS:
1. Vendor master purchasing data ( Flagged as GR-Based Inv Verification: Indicator specifying that provision has been made for goods-receipt-based invoice verification for a purchase order item or invoice item.
Auto Eval GR Settlement Delivery: specifies that evaluated receipt settlement or the automatic generation of the invoices are allowed in relation to materials supplied or services performed
Auto Eval GR Settlement Return: Specifies that automatic evaluated receipt settlement of return items is allowed.
2. Check in Info record to Ensure that No ERS indicator is not checked in the info record for the vendor, Material + Vendor + Plant + Purchase organization.
3. In PO ( Tax code maintain and Ticked GR based IV and ERS indicator )
4. Settled the invoice using MRRL
Difference between ERS and Invoice plan are :
" ERS is the automatic invoice payment settlement to our supplier like EDI payment.
Once we received the GR quantity system automatically settled the payment using ERS t.code MRRL.
" There are two types of invoice plan ( Partial and Periodic invoice plan ) - is used to settled the Rental , period based payment etc using MRIS.

Invoice Reduction-Vendor error: only a higher amount invoiced is allowed

Hi,
I am trying to replicate the "Invoice Reduction" Scenario (for both Price and Quantity Variance scenario).
1) Created a PO for 25 PCE and made GR for 10 PCE (10 USD/PCE).
2) Entering Invoice for 25 PCE and Amount 2500 USD and I have selected correction ID as Vendor Error: Reduce Invoice. So when the document is posted system should generates the Invoice document and Credit memo.
But I am getting the error as mentioned in subject.
Please find below the Error description:
Vendor error: only a higher amount invoiced is allowed
Message no. M8582
Diagnosis
The item amount in the invoice of 100.00 is smaller than the item amount of 2,500.00 suggested by the system.
System response
You currently cannot enter an amount that is smaller than that expected by the system. This would lead to a credit memo for the vendor.
Procedure
You can change the default values to correspond to the invoice and then post the invoice.
Regards,
Hari.

Hi,
Please check if the PO is GR based invoice verification is checked.
since the GR is only done for the partial qty while you enter the invoice and reducing it system is giving the error.
If vendor sends a higher amount /qty when compared to PO you can try for a reduction.
for more information on when and how an invoice reduction need to be done,please check the below link.

MIRO invoice for ERS Vendor

Can an Invoice be posted manually for a P.O in which ERS is enabled and against an ERS vendor ?
Thanks
Vinay Sridhar

Hi,
There is nothing wrong.
If you run the ERS settlement program after the MIRO you will find that this will NOT create a duplicate payment.
If by doing this you are having a problem, then let us know and we will see what we can do to help.
If you are just curious as to whether this is correct or not then it is perfectly OK to post an invoice for an ERS PO. If this happens AFTER the settlement then the invoice would be blocked for payment. If it happens BEFORE the settlement has been run then it would NOT be blocked for payment (GR qty equals Inv qty) but the settlement program should then NOT create a payment.
You can decide to stop this from happening by configuring the message to E or leave it as W and continue.

PO ERS with Invoice plan self invoice created incorrectly after making two reversal invoice now amount is higher than self invoce

Hi Team,
This month i have reversed self Invoice and I did a credit of an Invoice and paid January. Then I launched the correct self Invoice and amount is higher than. Now Invoice plan month of Feb is consumed, Meanwhile I have blocked the Invoice and Credit. I am not understand why this is happening.
Please suggest me any configuration missing .
Thanks
Sachin

hi Sachin
Please check if there was any price change in the PO
Also what is the order of any GR/GR reversal done? Generally if you dont follow chonological order or reversing the invoice and GR, you tend to change the price of the reminaing quantity of the PO and things get messed up.
For eg, if you made PO with quantity 10 and made GR of quantity and 5 and invoice of 10 and then reversed Gr of 5 and then reverse invoice of 10. You will see a huge difference in the PO history tab. Please show us your PO history tab screen

Purchase Order with Invoice Plan

Hi,
I need to understand working with Invoicing plans for a Purchase Order. Especially the service PO for the rents and other related services.
How the PO is linked to the Invoice Plan and how the process happens in SAP?
Thanks in advance!

Creating an Invoicing Plan
The following procedure describes how to create an invoicing plan with the pre-Enjoy ordering transactions (ME21, ME22, ME23).
The procedure described is also applicable u2013 with certain restrictions u2013 to the Enjoy purchase order (ME21N, ME22N, ME23N).
If you are using the Enjoy purchase order, you will find:
·         The Invoicing Plan button and the indicators for GR-based invoice verification (GR-Based IV), service-based invoice verification (Srv.-Based IV), evaluated receipt settlement (ERS), and invoice receipt (Inv. Receipt) among the item details on the Invoice tab page.
·         The account assignment among the item details on the Account Assignment tab page
·         The Goods Receipt and GR Non-Valuatedindicators among the item details on the Delivery tab page
Prerequisites
Vendor Master Record
Before you can use the invoicing plan with automatic settlement, the Evaluated Receipt Settlement Delivery indicator must be set on the Purchasing Data screen in the vendor master record.
(If you wish to enter invoicing dates manually, this is not necessary.)
Purchase Order
●     We recommend using a framework order (that is a purchase order with a validity period and a reason for rejection). The invoicing plan can adopt the validity period specified in the PO header.
●     PO items for which you wish to use an invoicing plan must have account assignment irrespective of whether a material with a master record, a material described by a short text, or an external service is involved.
●     The GR/IR control facility must be set up in such a way that no goods receipt (or, in the case of services, no service entry) is expected - only an incoming invoice. If you wish to have automatic settlement, you must also set the Evaluated Receipt Settlement indicator.
If you nevertheless wish to allow service entry sheets for the item (e.g. for information purposes only), you must set the GR Non-Val. indicator.
Customizing
Under Purchase Order à Invoicing Plan in Customizing for Purchasing, you can maintain data such as the desired invoicing plan types, date categories, and date descriptions.
Procedure
       1.      Create a purchase order with account assignment (framework order).
Click to access the item overview (or the overview of service lines if you chose item category D for services).
       2.      Enter the desired material or service, the quantity, and the price.
       3.      Select the desired item and click Account Assignments to access the account assignment screen. Enter the account assignment for this item.
       4.      Click to access the item detail screen. Check that the GR/IR control indicators are set correctly on the item detail screen.
○     The GR and GR-Based Invoice Verification or Service-Based Invoice Verification indicators must not be set.
○     IR must be set.
○     You must set ERS if you wish to have Evaluated Receipt Settlement.
○     If you wish to have service entry sheets purely for information, for example, allow non-valuated goods receipt (i.e. select the GR Non-Val and GR indicators).
       5.      Choose Item ® Invoicing Plan. A window appears, in which the invoicing plan types predefined in Customizing are suggested. Choose the desired invoicing plan type and click Continue.
You can use the following invoicing plan types:
○     Periodic Invoicing Plan
■      You use the periodic invoicing plan if the total value of the PO item is to be invoiced in each period.
■      The system creates the invoicing dates automatically on the basis of the settings in Customizing.
■      The invoicing date and the amount to be invoiced are shown for each settlement period (e.g. month). In the case of the periodic invoicing plan, the amount represents the total value of the PO item.
■      You can change the suggested dates and block individual dates for automatic invoicing if necessary.
■      You can enter the start and end dates for the invoicing plan.
■      With the Dates from and Dates to fields, you can determine that an invoicing plan does not contain invoicing dates extending over the entire validity period of the purchase order but only for a certain period within that validity period. (E.g. within a validity period from 1.1. to 12.31, only dates within the period 1.1. to 06.30.)
■      With the Horizon field, you control how far into the future dates can be created. If you enter a date rule that adds six months to the current date here, invoicing dates will be created for just half a year in advance in each case.
The system automatically creates new dates if you change the invoicing plan or when you invoke the transaction for Updating Periodic Invoicing Plans. See Generating Further Invoicing Plan Dates
■      The In Advance indicator allows you to specify whether the invoice is to be created with regard to a prior or subsequent period. (E.g. at the beginning of February, either in advance for the month of February or in arrears for the month of January).
■      In addition, fields with information on the existing invoicing plan are displayed (e.g. the calendar upon which the date determination process is based).
○     Partial Invoicing Plan
■      You use the partial invoicing plan if the total value of the PO item is to be invoiced in several partial amounts.
■      You get an empty date overview in which you can manually enter the desired dates.
■      If you work with a reference invoicing plan, the system automatically generates dates in accordance with the reference plan.
You have the following options:
●      You create a reference invoicing plan in Customizing for the invoicing plan type.
●      You enter an existing invoicing plan as reference plan directly in the invoicing plan for the PO item.
■      You can flag a date in field B (Billing/Invoicing Rule) as follows:
●      As a down payment (percentage or value)
●      As an invoicing date (percentage or value)
●      As a final invoice
       6.      Click to return to the item overview.
       7.      Click to save the purchase order item with the invoicing plan.
You can then start the automatic invoice creation process during invoice verification.
For more information, refer to the section Settlement of Amounts Due Under Invoicing Plans.
Once assigned to an item, the invoicing plan type (e.g. partial invoicing plan) cannot be changed. If you wish to assign a different invoicing plan type, you must delete the item and create a new one.
Generating Further Invoicing Plan Dates
If you have assigned a periodic invoicing plan to a PO item but have not initially defined invoicing dates covering the entire validity period of the purchase order, you can generate further dates in due course.
You have created a PO item with a periodic invoicing plan for a certain planned procurement. The purchase order is valid from 1.1. to 12.31. When creating the invoicing plan, you specified one invoicing date per month for the first half of the year. You have not yet planned any dates for the second half of the year because you do not wish information from the invoicing plan to be passed on to purchase order commitments at this stage, for example.
By mid-June, it is clear that the PO is to proceed as envisaged, and you therefore wish to schedule invoicing dates for the remainder of its validity period.
Procedure
To schedule further invoicing dates, proceed as follows:
Choose Purchase order ® Follow-on functions ® Period. invoicing plan
Specify the purchase orders for which invoicing dates are to be generated in the invoicing plan and perform the function.
A log can be created if desired.
Result
The system adds further dates on the basis of information such as the validity period or horizon from Customizing, the purchase order, and the invoicing plan.

indranil

GOA distribution to R3 - Tax Code for ERS vendors

Hi all,
Having an issue with GOA distribution to R3 for evaluated receipt settlement vendors. For ERS vendors, tax code is a required field. There is not a tax code field in the GOA and this is not being passed in any iDoc segment I can find. My current tax configuration is calculate tax in backend, i have maintained tax codes I0.U1, I1 with U1 set as default. As shopping carts are transferred from R3 they are assigned U1 as expected and PO's generated in the BE from these external requirements are getting the U1 as expected. The problem is with contracts and scheduling agreements. Everything is fine unless the vendor has the ERS indicator set. Tax code becomes a required field.
Has anyone else experienced this? I've' researched SDN and everything talks about shopping carts and PO's, which is working for us. I cant find any info on the contract distribution. I've investigated the BADI's associated with tax calculation in SRM but I'm not sure these meet the requirement for ERS vendors.
Am I missing configuration? Is one of the tax badi's the way to go? Any information is appreciated.

Downpayment with Invoicing Plan

Hello all,
I'm trying to make a downpayment to a Vendor based upon a Purchase order (PO).
Here folows the procedure reflected on the system:
1)Creation of the PO with one valuated material (quantity and amount) item.
in the item invoice, we can have invoice plan based upon % or amount. Therefore,
in the logistics invoice the quantity is not verified.
2)Processing the downpayment by MIRO, it appears as a negative value because there is
no special GL indicator. I do know that by F-48 I can assign the downpayment to the PO.
But, the tricky procedure is that I can't settle a condition at item level in order to
consider it as the downpayment (profit to the vendor) and reduced for the total of invoices.
3)When I do Goods-receipt (GR), it increases the stock quantity but I can't see the finantial
documents related. If I want to enter the logistic invoice, there is no quantity to verify.
Only the ammount is possible to verify.
We would like to enter the Downpayment based on one invoicing plan, but with GR/IV flag active.
If we can be able to do this, everything will work properly as they use in the ancient system.
We can also use a finantial item in order to deturn this problem, but this doesn't compensate
the finantial open items (this means that he has the same sign " - ").
Can anyone help us to solve this problem?
Thank you in advance very much!
Best regards,
Pedro Grabulho.

Hi ,
I give my thoughts on this .
1) I agree that if use F-48 for down payment , u won;t be able to do at the line item level . But u are entering only the Purchase order number as reference and there is no provision for line item . In this case also system won;t allow you to make payment beyond the purchase order value.
2) Once GR Based IV is flagged in the PO , it is not advisable to use MIRO for down payment.

Not working Billing Block functionality for Invoicing Plan

Hi Experts,
I am using Invoicing plan functionality to purchase materials by using Milestones from Network of Project System. The system is allowing to post Vendor Invoice (MIRO) without removing of Billing Block of Invoicing Plan from PO and the system should give error message because of non removal of Billing block.
The following configuration was done in Invoicing Plan of PS.
1. Assigned Date Category to Invoicing Plan Type (30)
2. Assignment of Invoicing Plan Type to Network Profile
The following configuration was done in Invoicing Plan of MM.
1. Assigned default date category to Partial Invoicing Plan type
2. Maintained Date category to Invoicing Plan type
3. Assigned Date proposal category to Invoicing Plan Type
4. Maintained Date Proposal to Invoicing Plan Type
What are the changes needs to do in configuration or transaction to prevent to post vendor Invoice because of nonremoval of Billing block from Invoicing Plan?
Please give me the solution.
Thanks in advance,
Rao

Hi Rao
You need to have the invoicing plan done in Project System (PS) under the project with Milestones and save the plan. On dong this, the system would generate a 'Reference Number'. This can be seen when you again go to the invoicing plan.
Use this reference number in the MM invoicing plan to link the PS & MM plans. This would create a block automatically in MM which can be lifted only on confirmation of the appropriate Milestone in PS.
Hope this helps

Invoicing Plan complete process

Dear All,
Can anybody give the Invoicing Plan config(Periodic and partial) and how to use in PO and finally to pay the vendor.
Regards

Hi
You can use this business process to process invoice plan settlements. The invoicing plan is a facility that allows you to schedule desired invoicing dates for planned procurements independently of the receipt of the relevant goods or performance of the relevant services. It lists the dates on which you wish to create and then pay the invoices in question. You can automate creating invoices triggered by the dates in the invoicing plan.
Steps :
1.Invoicing Plan Types:Define the type of Iof invoicing plan:
Partial invoicing plans, and
Periodic invoicing plans
2.Maintain Date IDs : These are texts briefly describing the relevant dates in the invoicing plan.
for Example
0001     Rent
0002     Maintenance
0003     Contract Conclusion
0004     Engineering/Design
3.Date Categories
Maintain Date Category for Invoicing Plan Type
Define Default Date Category for Invoicing Plan Type
4.Maintain Date Proposal for Partial Invoicing Plans
4..You must Define Rules for Date Determination.
6. Define Invoice Block

MRIS- invoice plan settlement error

I have created invoice plan using the standard SAP supplied periodic invoicing plan. When I go to tx MRIS and enter Co code, plant, vendor, purch doc and then in document selection 3( I have tried 1, 2 and 3) but I get an error " no document selected" I also have created output for Invoice with co code combination
What am I missing? Need help
Thanks

Hi,
If you are not going to send the payments automaticaly via ERS, then you must post the invoices normally via MIRO with reference to that PO. the system will then check the value and the dates on the invoice plan to see if the invoice should be cleared for payment or blocked.
MRIS is only used if you want to settle the payments without entering an invoice (i.e. automatically as the oayment dates fall due)

Invoice Plan

Hi
I have an invoice plan containing 5 items and the users have successfully ran the payment run against the 1st line item.
When viewing the invoice plan via transaction me23n the field FKSAF is displaying 'C' (complete) but in the underlying database table fplt FKSAF is 'A'.
Should I be using another table? Any help appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Lovkesh,
You need to customize the following in spro for invoicing plan.
Spro>MM> Purchasing>Under Purchase Order >Invoicing Plan in Customizing for Purchasing, you can maintain data such as the desired invoicing plan types, date categories, and date descriptions.
Set the ERS settlement Delivery indicator in Vendor master also.
Now you can create a PO with FO type and mention the acct assignmt
Enter the item then Select the desired item and click Account assignments to access the account assignment screen. Enter the account assignment for this item.
Click to access the item detail screen.
Check that the GR/IR control indicators on the item detail screen. The indicators GR and GR-based invoice verification or Service-based invoice verification must not be set. IR must be set. You must set ERS if you wish to have Evaluated Receipt Settlement.
Choose Item> Invoicing plan. A window appears, in which the invoicing plan types predefined in Customizing are suggested. Choose the desired invoicing plan type and click Continue.
Hope this helps.
regards
