MRBR - Release Blocked Invoices

I am experiencing that MRBR release invoices that have just been blocked due to variance. This without any change having taken place in the PO or anywhere else.
E.g.
1) PO. 1 item of 680 USD.
2) GR. 1 item of 680 USD.
3) IR. 1 item of 360 USD. Blocked due to price variance (this set to 200 USD / 10 % in customizing)
4) MRBR release manually. Shows that the invoice is blocked due to price variance of -320 USD.
5) MRBR release automatically. Releases the Invoice.
The issue is:
As I understand MRBR automatic release, it should only release the invoice if the blocking reason no longer applies, but nothing changes between 4) and 5) above. I.e. the blocking reason should still apply and MRBR should therefore not release the invoice.
Any comments would be very appreciated.
SAP HELP TEXT:
Indicator: release invoices automatically
Controls the automatic deletion of the blocking reasons Quantity, Price, Date and Quality from the selected invoices, if they no longer apply. The system automatically releases invoices in which all blocking reasons are deleted.
Use
If you select this field and choose Execute, the system deletes all blocking reasons that satisfy the criteria entered in the group box Selection of blocked invoices and that are no longer relevant.
Price variance
Purchase order: 100 pieces @ $10; Delivery: 100 pieces; Invoice: 100 pieces @ $11 = $1100
The system blocks the invoice for payment (Blocking reason P).
Change to the purchase order: Order price = $11/pc. or
Subsequent credit memo for $100
The blocking reason no longer applies and is deleted when the system automatically releases invoices.

  • Use of MRBR - Release block invoices

    Hi,
    I want to know use of TCode of MRBR - Release block invoices.
    I did MIRO. There it was payment block. Then i went to MRBR expecting that i can release the invoice from there. But payment block was not removed. So let me know what is the use of MRBR.

    The link given has following lines:
    1. Since the total invoice amount is to be paid and not individual invoice items, the blocking indicator is set in the vendor line of the accounting document. As a result, all the items in an invoice can only be released at the same time.
    2. MR02: invoice release transaction for blocked invoices that were posted in CIV (MR01)
    3. MRBR: invoice release transaction for blocked invoices that were posted in  LIV
    I have following doubts:
    I did MIRO & payment block automatically is picked up. I thought by using MRBR, that payment blocked will be removed. But this was not the case. But according to 1st sentences mentioned above, it should be done.
    What is meant by CIV & LIV in 2 & 3 sentence.

  • Release block invoice MRBR

    Hi
    I have 2 questions to check with you on MRBR.
    Q1 - why there are invoice shown in this transaction screen as blocked? even though these invoices have been paid in FI side?
    Q2 - how to make these invoice to disappear on the list in MRBR coz it have been cleared in FI.
    thanks
    Tuff

    Hi,
    MRBR block deal with LIV, even though the invoices are block FI thru their own transaction can release and pay them but that would not release the LIV block.
    I am sure that these are stochastic or manual block which your FI team is ignoring (which they should not because that is already causing inconsistency in the system), in an ideal situation first these invoices must have been released thru MRBR transaction first and then they should have proceeded with the payment.

  • Release Blocked Invoices - MRBR

    Hi all,
    How can I get transaction MRBR to do an authorization check on company code?
    Thanks

    To do a check on company code you will probably have to ABAP and use a user exit to assign additional auth objects.
    default check of the TRX is on
    MRBP M_RECH_WRK     WERKS               $WERKS
    MRBR M_RECH_EKG     EKGRP               $EKGRP
    Plant (WERKS) and Purchase Group (EKGRP).
    But if your MM consultants are clever they might find a solution in using the Purchase Group as you should not want any purchase group with multiple company codes assigend!!!!

  • Change Net price in the PO after releasing blocked invoice

    Hi,
    We had a PO which had wrong price for an item.  Invoice amount was hight for this line item and so the invoice was blocked.  Accounting manually unblocked the invoice so purchasing could correct the price on the PO but now the net price column is greyed out in the PO just for that line itme.
    Please can anyone let me know how to change the price on the PO so that invoice could be processed.
    Thanks
    Mira

    Hi,
    Once PGR Processed you can't change the Price of the PO.
    First you have to reverse the INvoice in MR8M..
    Then you have to cancel the MIGO  through 102 movement type.
    then you do changes in PO item value.
    afterthat do MIGO & MIRO.
    it will work.

  • MRBR - Manual Block Reason

    Hi All,
    When we run the MRBR ( Release Block Invoice )  and select release manual, we found some items do not have quantity differece or price differenc. However, we found some maual block reason. When I look the manual block reason items in MM and FI documents, all are free for payment. in FI and MM side.
    When I run release automatically in MRBR, system do not pick up manual block reason items  to release.
    Anyone know why MRBR indicate manual block reason ? How can we release the manual block items automatically ?
    Thank You
    Alex Lee

    Hi
    Automatic release for manual blocking is not possible in standard SAP. You need to release it manually in MRBR transaction by choosing option Release manually. Only invoices blocked due to variances can be released automatically

  • How to block invoice posting more than the GR quantity

    Dear Experts,
    While trying to do MIRO with more than the PO/GR quantity system is accepting both increase in qty and value with out any tolerance limit.
    How to block, so that system should not allow to do MIRO more than the GR quantity.
    Regards,
    Alok

    Hi,
    System will by default block the payment, when it is not matching with the PO/GR value.
    then you have to go transcation code MRBR - Release Blocked Invoices. so that you can make the payment for these invoices.
    system will give you the message before saving, if you want an error message then go to oba5 tcode and change the message in to error, then if the Amount is not matching with the PO/GR value then the system will through error.

  • Release of Blocked invoices

    MRBR is a transaction which is used for releasing blocked invoices.
    However, MRBR releases the entire items of an invoices.  In our case, for certain invoices, some portion is 'retention amount' which should not be paid to the vendors. 
    How can we achieve the release of blocked invoices without releasing the retention part ? (We cannot allow FB02 to remove the block from the items..)

    If you need to pay "Partial payment to the Vendor, there are two ways.
    1. F-58 or F-53, Manual payment - Partial or Residual
    2. OBB9, configure the Payment term with Instalment amount and pay it through F110
    Hope it  helps
    Thanks

  • MRBR - Disable access to Manual release blocks

    Guys

  • F-44 Clearing - Disable clearing of blocked invoice

    Dear all,
    We encountered problem with vendor clearing F-44 transaction. We have
    invoices with payment block, we expected those invoices are unable to
    be cleared since they are in payment block status. However the F-44
    transaction still can clear invoices with payment block.
    We do aware that payment block is only for blocking outgoing payment transaction such as F-53, F110.
    We should not use F-44 clearing to perform the payment.
    However in case of advance payment, we have to later on clear the down
    payment against invoice using f-44. Therefore we expected the down payment
    shouldn't be able to clear the invoice in dispute.
    Is there any way to prevent the clearing of problematic invoices? If it
    is not possible, then how to clear the down payment against invoice?
    Using F-54 Clear Down Payment transaction will not clear the invoice,
    the invoice still in status open item even though after we knock-off
    the down payment against invoices using F-54.
    I will really appreciate if you can share your experience on resolving the above problem.
    Many Thanks
    Dahlia

    Hi Sanil,
    Thank you very much for your quick reply.
    Yes, we do use MRBR to release blocked invoice.
    Unfortunately that is not my question, our problem is how to prevent F-44 to clear a problematic invoices. We already block the invoices, however F-44 transaction can still clear the invoice with payment block.
    I do understand that payment block is for blocking outgoing payment transaction F-53 or F110, doesn't it won't block F-44 from clearing the invoice.
    But in-case of down payment, you need to clear the invoice with down payment using F-44. We don't want an invoice in dispute being clear with F-44.
    Thanks
