Invoice Verification function in MM

Hi Experts,
Can anyone please explain me the invoice verification function in Material Management.
Regards,
Kumar.

Hi,
Logistics Invoice Verification is a part of Materials Management (MM). It is situated at the end of the logistics supply chain that includes Purchasing, Inventory Management, and Invoice Verification. It is in Logistics Invoice Verification that incoming invoices are verified in terms of their content, prices and arithmetic. When the invoice is posted, the invoice data is saved in the system. The system updates the data saved in the invoice documents in Materials Management and Financial Accounting

Newbie functional question on MM Invoice Verification

Dear forumers,
How can I check for a completed status of an invoice verification in the SAP MM module?
I was told that this can be checked from the RBKP-RBSTAT field. Is it also right to say that RBSTAT = 'B' to indicate that the invoice verification is completed? Are there any other further checks required too? Would need more confirmation on this.
Appreciate any help at all. Thanks.

Charlie,
Thanks for your input here.
Well, the requirements are looking more specifically into whether a purchase order's status is overdue, or not yet due, etc. And according to the requirements too, such PO status is determined by checking on the Goods Receipt and Invoice Verification statuses as well.
So, to check for completed Goods Receipt, I used this condition: EKPO-WEPOS = u2018Xu2019. And to check for incomplete Goods Receipt, I used this condition: EKPO-WEPOS = u2018 '.
To check for incomplete Invoice Verification, I think I can use this condition: RBKP-RBSTAT = u2018B'. And to check the incomplete Invoice Verification, I think I can use this condition: RBKP-RBSTAT not equals to u2018B'.
Could you please help to verify this for me? Or do I need to use other fields to check on this condition as well, i.e. EKPO-ELIKZ or EKPO-REPOS?

GR/IR Freight Clearing Account - GR & Invoice Verification

Dear Gurus,
I have made a PO for 1200 pcs unit price 69.20$. (GR based IV).   (Valuation - Moving average price)
Delivery costs - Freight (FRB1) - 1200$
I have splitted the PO quantity in to 3 different Inbound deliveries
Inbound 1 - 400 pcs
Inbound 2 - 400 pcs
Inbound 3 - 400 pcs
I have made the Goods receipt for the 1st Inbound - 400 pcs.
Goods Receipt 1 - 400 pcs. The value in the GR/IR freight clearing a/c credited by 400$
Invoice Verification1 - 400 pcs. The value in the Invoice verification is 1000$.
The value in the GR/IR freight clearing a/c debited by 1000$
Goods Receipt2 - 400 pcs. The value in the GR/IR freight clearing a/c got credited by 400$
Invoice Verification2 - 400 pcs. The value in the Invoice Verification is 2000$
The value in the GR/IR freight clearing a/c got debited by 200$ and Stock in Hand debited by 1800$
Goods Receipt3 - 400 pcs. The value in the GR/IR freight clearing a/c got credited by 200$
Invoice Verification3 - 400 pcs. The value in the Invoice Verification is 1500$
The value in the GR/IR freight clearing a/c got debited by 133.33$ and Stock in Hand debited by 1366.67$
I don't understand how the logic works for seggreating the amount to GR/IR freight clearing account and GR/IR account.
For the first 2 GR and IV I could understand that there is a balance in the PO condition but for the Invoice verification 3. The value debited to GR/IR freight account is 133.33$. Can anyone help me how the calculation is taking place and how the system has arrived to figure 133.33$ in the Invoice verification for GR/IR freight clearing a/c
Strangely when I have cancelled the Invoice Verification document 3.
The value Credited to GR/IR freight clearing account is 333.33$ instead of 133.33$
Can somebody help me to figure out the calucation for IR after the GR for planned delivery costs.
If any SAP notes or help files can be provided then it would be really helpful.
Regards
Fazal.

Refer this note 311496 & 460244, 129066
Symptom
Delivery costs were planned for a purchase order item.
A goods-receipt-based invoice verification is set.
Several goods receipts are posted. For invoice entry, both in conventional invoice verification (transaction MR01/MRHR) and in logistics invoice verification (transaction MR1M/MIRO), the delivery costs for each purchase order item are displayed in total.
This is the same as when, for example, only one of several GR documents/delivery notes is selected.
Example of a purchase order history:
Cat. Doc. no.    Itm    MvT Pstg.dt.            Qty.in BUoM       Value in local curr

Total delivery cost GR                                                 16,66 DEM
If you only select the first GR document in the selection, you get
the following default values for the delivery costs:
Amount    Quantity BUoM Itm Decription              Vendor
6,67         10      PC 10    Freight value        VEND01
10,00        10      PC 10    Freight/quantity     VEND01
(and not, as sometimes expected: - 3,33 DEM    5 PC
                                    - 5,00 DEM    5 PC)
Other terms
WEBRE, delivery costs, planned delivery costs, goods-receipt-based invoice verification, invoice verification
Reason and Prerequisites
A function such as the goods-receipt-based invoice verification is not available for delivery costs.
Solution
This is not an error; this is a consulting note.

Same nr range in Logistics Invoice Verification for the MM and FI document

I customised Logistics Invoce verification (on ECC6) with the same nr range for MM and FI. That were done by changing the nr range of doc type RE (in FI) to nr range 52 andcreated the nr range for the company code for fiscal year 2007 and 2008 (our fiscal year 2008 start 1.10.07) and made it external nr assignment. In MM I changed RD and RS to a new range 05 to which I assigned the nr range 5200000000 to 5299999999 (internally assigned). For the vendor consignment I created a new document type and assign that to nr range 51 (as the original invoice verification settings).
This process works quite nice with the same document nr for MM and FI, however I still do have a problem. (I work through the article on above as per FI Expert issue of Sept 07, but even in there my problem was not mentioned.
If I do an invoice verification for previous period with price changes on the system, Sap want to post 2 accounting docs (1 for the previous month - on which I did have stock and 1 for current month - one which I did not have any stock). The system only send 1 document nr for FI who needs 2 doc nrs. I now get the error message that I must use a document in the nr range 5200000000 and 529999999.
How do I rectify this or can I not use this functionality if we allow backdating to the previous period

Downpayment Clearing in Logistic Invoice verification

Hi All,
we have activated Business Function " LOG_MMFI_P2P " and
Switch "MM_SFWS_CI_01 - Enhanced Functions in EhP4 for Applications in
Materials Management" using Tcode SFW1. And followed all instructions
documented when activated Business Function " LOG_MMFI_P2P ". The
Busines function is activated to order to clear downpayments at the
time of invoice posting in MIRO or MIR7. When I post the invoice in
MIRO system is posting 2 indepedent document as below.
1. Invoice posting,
Dr GR/IR
Cr Vendor
2. Downpayment Recovery
Dr Vendor
Cr Vendor with SP GL Indicator "C"
My point is, as per the link
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/48/b42c22e8603095e10000000a421937/frameset.htm, it says "You can use the Down Payment Clearing
function to clear down payments that you have posted with reference to
a purchase order without going to the relevant financial accounting
transactions, directly in logistics invoice verification."
But, in my case, the system is not clearing the downpayment but instead
is just posting a Credit memo account entry with SP GL indicator (refer
to th Downpayment Entry).
Please advice if SAP is designed to clear the downpayment in LIV or
just to post the downpayment recovery entry.
If advice on any corrections to be applied.
Best regards
Abishay Solomon

Hi
I am not sure, but as per your link
"The system displays the Down Payment Clearing pushbutton at header level"
are you getting any button there?

Vendor Consignment Settlement - Invoice verification - MRKO

Hello All,
Can someone please let me know what I am missing in configuration, because when I try to settle via MRKO transaction get the message below. I have gone through configuration trying to figure out what I have missed. Since I don't see "settled" in the information text field it does not let me print any invoices. Just to let you guys know our system had all the KONS configuration deleted out. So I had copy them from our client 000. Please advise what am I missing. Thank you all for your help.
I get this message:
Consignmnt settlement: No message was found for partner 401170/compny code 1001
Message no. M8443
Diagnosis
You are settling consignment or pipeline liabilities for vendor 1001 in company code 401170. For the information of the vendor, a document is created using the message determination function.
System Response
If no message record was found for a partner because of the message control settings, meaning that no output message can be created, no invoice documents are created.
Procedure
In Customizing for Invoice Verification, check that the data for message determination has been maintained in such a way that an output message can be created for the vendors in the invoice document.
Regards,
Nav

Hello All,
I have setup output type KONS in MRM1 - Key combination as CoCode, Vendor, yet I am still experiencing problems. Do I need to modify MR_PRINT FORM or the Program "RM08NAST" I have gone through these configurations to setup KONS output type since it was not in our sandbox system.
Maintain Message Types
Maintain Message Schemas
Maintain Conditions - which is MRM1
Am I am missing something else?

Invoice Verification - Tcode MIRO

Hi, I would like to know if there is anyone who could help me on how to open the G/L field (HKONT) at Details tab in MIRO tcode to enable reconciliation accont changes during an Invoice Verification. In Brazilian Utilities Indutry Sector processes we legaly must have alternative reconciliation accounts for the same vendor.
I've done a test enabling alternative reconciliation account in FI-GL and it works for the tcode FB60, opening automaticaly the field G/L at the Details tab allowing the user to change the account for an alternative one, but unfortunately for the tcode MIRO it simply doesn't works.
I hope there is any MM configuration or enhancement which could enable this field.
Thanks in advance,
Daniel Damiani
Business Senior Specialist at CSC

Hi,
It is not possible to explicitly change the account at the time an
invoice is posted through transaction MIRO, the way it is posible
through FI. In MM, the accounts are automatically determined from the
customizing in transaction OMWB, or taken from the purchase order
account assignment data.
You can also have a quick look in tr OMRMB, you will notice that field
INVFO-HKONT is not there to be customised.
There is no solution available within the SAP standard system for the
change of the reconciliation account for the vendor. Please check note
144081 for MIRO/MIR7 functions.
MM invoice verification was developed to finish the external procurement
process in logistics and check the invoice data sent by the vendors for
correctness (differences) and to post the corresponding accounting
document in FI additional.
Creating manually creditor invoices in FI have no relation to a logist
process. Therefore not all functions included in FI (FB60) are included
in MM invoice verification (MIRO) as well.
You can only change the reconciliation account via vendor master record:
Pls. choose "display vendor" in MIRO, than switch to the view accounting
information and change there the G/L account. This must be done by
every posting procedure and the change must be put back after booking
again.

Invoice verification config???

hii
What are the significance of below configuration in invoice verififcation ??
1.materials management>Logisti Inv Verifcation>
do the settings for Invoice blocks??,
Tolerances, then Incoming invoices..???,
Indicator stochastic Block???
2. Set check for duplicate invoice ??
Explain me one by one with some example .
Thanks

Hi,
1.Logistics Invoice Verification
In the Implementation Guide for Logistics Invoice Verification, you make the system settings that are required for the following areas:
a) Processing invoice receipts
b) Connection to Financial Accounting
Note:- You must process the sections for document types and number ranges in the Incoming Invoice unit.
2.Invoice Block
In the "Invoice Block" unit, you can configure the settings for blocking invoices.
This includes the following functions:
Determine Payment Block
Set Tolerance Limits
Item Amount Check
Stochastic Block
3.Set Tolerance Limits
Specify the tolerance limits for each tolerance key for each company code.
When processing an invoice, the R/3 System checks each item for variances between the invoice and the purchase order or goods receipt. The different types of variances are defined in tolerance keys.
Variances are allowed within predefined tolerance limits. If a variance exceeds a tolerance limit, however, the system issues a message informing the user. If an upper limit (except with BD and VP) is exceeded, the invoice is blocked for payment when you post it. You must then release the invoice in a separate step. If the tolerance limit for BD is breached, the system cannot post the invoice.
Note that if you set all limits for a tolerance key to Do not check, the system does not check that tolerance limit. Therefore any variance would be accepted. This does not make sense particularly in the case of the tolerance key Form small differences automatically.
4.Stochastic Block
Configure the system settings for the stochastic block.
Activate: This specifies the company codes in which the stochastic block is used.
Set: This specifies the degree of probability that an invoice is stochastically blocked.
5.Duplicate invoices
Invoice date If the system finds an invoice that matches all attributes, the system
displays a customizable message.
If you are entering credit memos, subsequent debits, or subsequent
credits, the system does not check for duplicate invoices.
The exception is the Argentina country version, where the system checks
for duplicate invoices and credit memos.
If a previously processed document is later cancelled and then entered
again, no message is displayed.

Check when saving Logistics Invoice Verification (MRMBADI_INVOICE_SAVE)

Hi everybody, we have an ECC 6.0. with IS-Retail platform, and we have noticed that during Logistics Invoice Verification process (Tx MIRO), it´s possible to make mistakes by choosing a vendor, then picking an invoice from another vendor, with the particularity that both invoices have the same delivery note number as PO reference (same vendor´s delivery note number / GOHEAD-LFSNR). The system doesn´t check if PO reference corresponds with correct vendor while saving the document.
Our question for you is if there is a Customizing way to activate a validation which allow us to solve mistakes describe before???
We found BAdI method IF_EX_MRM_INVOICE_UPDATE PROCESS_AT_SAVE which is processed when saving an invoice, the method calls are encapsulated in the function module MRMBADI_INVOICE_SAVE which is responsible for saving invoices.
If there isn´t a Customizing way to activate a check like that, the second question we have for you is if you have experience with this BAdI??? Does it work with this kind of validation??? We need to ensure that PO reference corresponds to correct vendor (GOHEAD-LIFNR / RF02K-LIFNR).
Thanks in advanced for your help,
Regards,
Miyuki Quiroz.

Hi,
Duplicate invoice check will fulfill your requirement. System will check is the invoice exists with same invoice date, reference and company code.
Follow the path SPRO -- IMG -- MM -- LIV -- Incoming Invoice -- Set Check for Duplicate Invoices
Also tick check box for "check double invoice" in vendor master accounting data.
In case you want amount also as one of the checking parameters, then you need to go for validation. No standard setting is allowed for that.

Invoice verification number ranges

Hi
After processing a payment in MIR7, document number 5100519088 was assigned. When user processed the next payment 51000519063 was assigned. Can some one explain how these document numbers are being allocated, Normally the documents numbers are allocated in a sequential order..
Checked in ILV number ranges, for all document types it is taking only one number ranges i.e 51.
For creation and reversal invoice document it also taking same number ranges i.e 51
Please help me to understand why it is not taking number ranges sequence wise ( only for 6 invoice documents)
Thanks
Andappa

Hi,
there can be various reasons for the gaps in invoice numbering.
Please review the following notes in relation to gaps in numbers used:
62077 Info: Internal number assignment is not continuous
193020 Invoice verification: Gaps in number assignment
175047 Causes for FI document number gaps (RF_BELEG)
Main reason for numbering gaps is buffering. This is also described
in attached note 62077.
Document numbers can get lost in invoice verification if after choosing
the 'Post' function (F11 or Ctrl+S) the system generates an error
message or a termination message. In this case instruct users to pay
attention to whether the system generates terminations or error messages
after choosing post (F11 or Ctrl S). Ask them to note the message ID and
the numbers, preferably together with the time. It is worth discovering
a procedure, peculiar to your company or system configuration, that
causes the system to generate other error or termination messages after
posting (that is after number assignment). This should not normally be
the case. All this is explaind in note 193020.
Best Regards,
Arminda Jack

Invoice Verification (MIRO) allocation via Delivery note

We are in 5.00 version
In our system the same Delivery note number could be associated not only to different vendor, but even to the same vendor in different years.
In the last case the system allocate ALL the Delivery notes.
I try to use the F4 function to limit the selection, using filter on vendor and document date, but after the again all the delivery note for the selected vendor are allocate.
Could anybody help me on this.
thanks

In our organisation we are doing MIRO with reference to Delivery note. As same number of delivery note is being submiited by multiple vendors, after entry of that delivery note in MIRO system shows large list (Closed & Open for MIRO). This becomes difficult to select the required delivery note.
Is it possible to make display of only those delivery notes against which MIRO (Invoice verification has not done).
Also MIRO with reference to GRN number is possible or not ?
HI,
To avoid difficulties post miro with Reference document (PO Reference Tab) - Delivery note click on Radio button a possible entries for delivery note screen will appear. Here you can search specific delivery note by a lot of criteria which will save ur time and effort also you can see MIGO Document. Click and put tick to adopt and post Delivery note / migo and enter required field.

"LIV" (Logistics Invoice Verification) BI cube ? Is there anything like ht

I have been having a difficult time trying to get an answer to a question.
We currently capture Spend in R/3 by looking at the PO related invoices (posted via LIV) and the non-PO related invoices (posted via FI-AP). When we create our R/3 ABAP 'spend reports' we look at the date when the the invoices were paid (cleared), and subtotal by business area or IO#. We cannot use the PO line item cube, because that doesn't show the spend by the paid (cleared) date of the invoice.
What cubes do I need to load in BI to get this same type of data? I'm thinking it would be an "LIV" (Logistics Invoice Verification) cube, but I cannot find any information on that.

Hi
During the Duplicate Invoice check, the system checks for the following:
Vendor
Currency
Company code
Gross invoice amount
Reference document number
Invoice document date
If the same matches, you can set up an error/warning message. The message set up is done in:
OBA5
Application Area WS
Message No.121
Online and Batch : E
If you want to write your own checking logic using the Business Transaction Step 110. For activating BTE
1. Create a Function module by copying SAMPLE_PROCESS_00001110 and adding your own Abap code for duplicate invoice checking.
2. Go to T.code FIBF and in the menu go to Settings->Products -> Of a customer
3. Create a new product and save
4. Again go to T.code FIBF and in the menu go to Settings->Process modules-> of a Customer
5. Create new entry as follows and save.

Invoice Verification Prepayment

Hi all,
I have a requirement to capture the deposit/downpayment (payment made in advance which will be used to offset the final amount to be paid) amount made for a purchase. And there is a need for the system to help prevent extra amount to be paid to the suppliers when the final payment is to be made.
I read about this 'Prepayment' function in the MM module which seems to be suitable to be used for recording the deposit made. However, I'm having some problems with 3-way match as the prepayment invoice created forces me to enter a quantity. Does anyone know where else I can find more information on how this prepayment function works? I could only find information from SAP help documentation.
Thanks.
Regards,
Wai Leng

Hi Ravi,
The config is in SPRO --> Materials Management --> Logistic Invoice Verification --> Incoming Invoice --> Prepayment.
Subsequently, when I perform MIR7, scroll down in the header box to set the prepayment indicator.
Sure, contact me at [email protected]
Thanks!!

Layout - Invoice Verification

Hello,
I am currently trying to change the layout of the position details in transaction MIRO, but somehow it does not work as intended. I tried in the customizing the following path:
Materials Management --> Invoice Verification --> Incoming Invoice --> Maintain Item List Variant
I created a new variant by copying "7_6310 - All information", but somehow not all fields are displayed and I do not know how to change the sequence of the columns.
If I try to create a new variant without using the copying function the system jumps into transaction MIRO and I cannot save any layout at all.
I would really appreciate some help on this - I am sure it is just a small thing that I am missing ..

Dear Younes Elmoujahid,
I would recommend you to search for this topic / write your question about MIRO on the SAP Solutions -> ERP - Logistics Materials Management (MM) forum. I suppose you will get more information about this topic there.

Ely
