MRBR release invoices automatically quantity variance

For a purchase order item there are several good receipts
and several invoices. Although the quantity of the goods receipt is smaller than the quantity invoiced, the quantity of goods received is bigger than the first invoice. So the first invoice should be released automatically. However no invoice is released!
Is this how SAP works standard, or can I customize this somewhere?
Example:
quantity received: 100 + 100 = 200
quantity invoiced:
invoice 1:   100
invoice 2:   200
total    :   300

Hello,
The GR-based IV flag is not on for the item. Thank you for your answer, but is does not help me.
I believe there is no solution for this problem.
This is the way how SAP works. At the moment an invoice is posted the systems checks the quantity invoiced and received (and other checks). If something is wrong the invoice gets a block at that moment. Later with the automatically release of invoices the systems checks if the quantity variance still exists.
With tolerance limit DQ the system checks for all invoices with a block if the total quantity invoiced is less or equal to the total quantity received. So the system does not check only the quantity of the invoice with a block.
If you change the limit of tolerance limit DQ to 5000 euro to many invoices will be released, also invoices that should keep a block.
For example:
quantity received: 3
quantity invoiced: 3+3= 6.(both invoices had a block, because DQ absolute limit was zero).
After raising the  limit to 5000 euro, both invoices were  released, which is wrong!
It is logical that DQ should have a low limit. SAP only tries to relase the invoices with block. There also can be invoices without block.
For example:
quantity received: 3 - 3 + 3 = 3
quantity invoiced: 3 (block)
          +3 (no block)= 6.
The invoice with block should not be released. SAP only knows this when SAP does a check of the total quantity invoiced and received.

  • Problem about release invoices automatically

    Hello,
    We have many blocked invoices against payment that come from I/R in MM.
    The main reasons that they were blocked come from Quantity and Date difference.
    We know that invoices with the blocking reason "quantity" or "date" are released automatically
    if the blocking reason is no longer valid.
    but in tcode "MR02" or "MRBR" we tried to release the automaticallym but it didn't work.
    How come they were not released?
    Do we have to release all of them manually?
    Many thanks to help us.

    Hi,
    If that is the case then do not block invoices for blocking reason "quantity" or "date".. in customization..
    Thx

  • 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:

    The blocking reason no longer applies and is deleted when the system automatically releases invoices.

  • Quantity Variance block for Invoice

    Hi All,
    In one scenario I have ordered 27,000KG Materials for 90 per 1000 KG.I did the GR for whole quanity( 27,000 ).
    But while doing Invoice I booked for 27 KG as quantity and amount as 2430. Instead of 27,000 KG i did booked Invoice for 27KG with the total amount.Invoice got block with reason price variance.
    Here my question is why system is only blocked for price variance ? it should have blocked for Quantity varaince why it is not?
    I maintained l tolerance key (DQ) for Quantity variance with higher & low limits.Still it is not blocked with quantity reason.
    I have noticed that it is blocking invoice with quantity variance when I entered more quantity than delivered quantity.But why it is happening when I entered less quantity.Can any one explain what could be the  reason.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Srikanth P.

    The lower tolerances generally don't produce a block. They are warning or informational only.
    You don't really want a block either.  If 100kg are received as 2 x 50kg but you only get an invoice for 50 but at the correct price, you don't want a block.  You simply expect another invoice for 50kg.

  • MRBR : quantity variance

    on running the tcode MRBR system dose not release the invoice with blocking reason quantity variance even though the total quantity in the PO has been already recived.
    the details of scenerio are
    1. PO with grbased IV marked for first line item and created for 10 pc
    2. IV posted for 6 pc and so it got blocked with quantity varaince as no gr done till now
    3. now gr posted for 4 pc
    4 again gr posted for remaining quantity that is 6 pc
    5 IV posted for 4 pc
    6 MRBR run but the first invoice which was blocked due to quanityt variance is still not getting release automatically and it shows the reason for blocking as valid and no looking at entry in rbkp_blocked it shows no entry there
    now the last invoice does not get blocked as per the standard system behaviour but the first invoice should have been release but it is not getting released automatically
    i have also searched some sap notes but none meet my requirment

    Thanks for your response
    and i understand for GR based IV is that system dose not block the invoice in case if you have recived atleast 1 qty of goods ordered  and if you have not at all recived any goods and you try to post the invoice then system dose not allow you to do so
    but here the question is not of the GR based IV thing rather here  i am pointing towards the  abrupt system behaviour in MRBR for the invoice which is automatically blocked and not manually done as when it was posted there was no GR done and as mentioned by utsav in his post that for such cases we have a tolerance key called as DW to block the invoice where gr qty=0
    but now as all the gr has been done for the po so now why the system is not unblocking this invoice and in addition to the information i have mentioned above i will add that i have also run this scenreio in quality system and the invoice gets unblocked but the same is not ahppening in production client and to my surprise this is happening only for a particular company code and not for all. now i doubt that can it happen due to some malfunctioning of enhancement

  • MRBR not releasing invoice despite 3-way match

    I have a PO with quantity 100. Then a GR was posted for quantity of 50. Then an invoice was posted for quantity 100. Invoice was blocked due to quantity variance beyond tolerance. Now another GR was posted with quantity 50. Now there is a 3-way match, I ran MRBR for the original invoice and selected auto release option. System is not releasing the block.
    Anybody has any thoughts?

    Check whether there are any payment runs/proposals that are already created for this vendors.
    Also try to go to the accounting documents/invoices ( FB03) and try to remove the posting blocks manually over there.
    Hope that helps..
    Thanks,

  • Release Invoice Price Block and Quantity Block

    Hi,
    How can I release the Invoice Price and Quantity block at the same time? I need to create a Step in a work flow to release all blocks of a two-way match block invoice.
    I've already tried to have a BDC for transaction MRBR but it is not working.
    Can anyone help?

    Hi Simi,
    This type of behaviour is documented in SAP note 394370:
    "A document generated with MIRO was blocked for payment.You cancel the
    payment block from the vendor line item in the FI follow-up
    document.Transaction MRBR then displays the invoice document
    nevertheless. Why?
    The invoice document itself cannot be changed by changes to the
    follow-up documents; this is not programmed.Transaction MRBR therefore
    continues to display the document as blocked. If this document is
    released from an MM point of view, the FI follow-up document remains
    released.Thus the damage caused is restricted to unnecessary work by the
    user.
    SAP recommends that you only use the release transactions for releasing
    invoices."
    MRBR generates its list of blocked invoices from table RBKP_BLOCKED and is the
    only transaction which deletes entries from this table thats why when your report
    calls FB02 to remove the payent block MRBR will still show the invoice as blocked.
    You could code in a pop up message in your report that prevents the user from
    deleting the payment block and to advise using MRBR instead to delete the block.
    Hope this helps,
    Adam.

  • Invoice blocked for price variance or quantity variance

    Dear friends,
    In case if in the PO, either there is a price difference between GR and IR or a quantity difference between GR and IR, then does the invoice posted stays automatically in a "blocked" status??
    If not, then can we manually do some configuration to make this possible? The intention is that such invoices(with price variance or quantity variance) should remain in blocked status and should not be picked for payment in F110 run.
    Please advise asap.

  • 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.

  • Quantity Variance in Invoice Verification

    Dear All
    I have a requirement where the system should display error in Invoice Verification if the quantity exceeds Goods Receipt quantity however there should be seperate treatment.
    ie.If the quantity variance upto 5 percent is allowed for raw material but for spares material no variance is allowed.
    Can we have the tolerances configured for material type.

  • Quantity variance in Invoice Vs. Three way match in PO

    Hi Experts,
    I am not able to find any differrence between quantity variance Vs. Three way match in PO.
    For example in our purchase orders for all the items we are having Two way match (PO-Inv, GR-Bsd Inv is not checked) but we have defined quantity varaince in Invoice. So when we are trying to post invoice for purchase order item for which goods reciept is not performed, system is blocking the invoice due to quantity variance.
    So i think if you have quantity variance at invoice level then system is going to check whether goods reciept is perfromed or not regardless of Two way or three way match.
    Please advise if my understanding above is correct.
    My second question is as we can define two way/three way match at various level (Supplier, Inforecord etc.). Is there anyway that i can define that quantity variance in Invoice should be for certain material groups only.
    Please advise.
    Regards,
    Kamal

    hi,
    when you set the qty variance, and try to post the invoice just after the PO, the system will show a message at IR ie. " Quantity delivered is Zero"...
    this message is warning message...
    The system will block the invoice item when the doc is posted, depending on how the tolerance key DW  is set(Qty variance to Gr qty = zero)...
    Hope it helps..

  • Release and/or Post Logistic Parked Invoices automatically

    Hi there,
    I was wondering if anyone knows how to release and/or post Logistic Parked Invoices automatically in R/3.
    The Logistic Invoices are created using BAPI_INCOMINGINVOICE_PARK and are displayed in transaction MIR7.
    I need to find a way to process and POST dozens of parked logistic invoices at once.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Efrain

    Hi Srinivas,
    Thanks for your answer. It partially worked for me. I executed MR44 and I was able to see a parked logistic invoice with reference to a PO (with standar Doc. Type RE). However, if I use a "Z" Doc. Type, then is not displayed there.
    Maybe there is something behind the program SAPLMR1M (MIR7) where Doc. Type is being filtered. I will take a look on Customizing and see if I can find something.
    Once again, thanks for your help.

  • Release Invoice MRBR (Blocked for payment)

    Hello MM Experts I am handling one issue that is related to release blocked invoice. In my case invoice is blocked due to price difference though there is no price difference IN sceduling agreement, GR and invoice.
    when we go to MRBR to release invoice it is showing diff value coloumn as 241.99
    when i checked with ABAP team during debugging we found one formula as
    <b>Invoice value local currency=qty invoiced*Net order value/QTY ordered in PO
    261800*46376/261800=46376.00</b>
    diff value=Invoice value foregn currency- invoice value local currency
    241.99=46617.99-46376.00
    Now my question how 46617.99 (invoice value foreign currency) is coming?
    experts plz let me know ur thoughts on this

    Hi,
    If you are using a different vendor for the freight you must make sure to select the correct option in MIRO, you can select (in the central area of the first screen in MIRO)
    1 Goods/service  items
    2 Planned delivery costs
    3 is a combination of 1 and 2
    So to post the invoice for the items 9without the freight costs) select option 1
    then to post the fright costs seaparately (to the other vendor) select option 2 and make sure that you manaully change the vendor number to the correct freight vendor number. this will allow you to pay for the freight seaparately.
    If you are using 3 in error, the system will block the invoice due to the frieght charges not being claimed.

  • MRBR release program

    Hi SAP Guru,
    We have issue in MRBR release pogram
    Business process is,
    Most of our invoice has been PO based invoice,invoice is posted first
    and later GR will be done.
    We have invoice tolreance set in place and when the invoice is posted
    its goes to 'blocked for payment'.
    Batch program has been set for MRBR program(RM08RELEASE) and this
    program will release all invoice which has blocking reason as automatic.
    The business need is MRBR release program should release invoice for 3
    way match, i.e
    Case1 PO=IV=GR.
    10=10=10
    in above case the MRBR program should release invoive
    Case2 PO=IV=GR
    10=15=15
    As above case2 the MRBR program should not release the invoice, need to
    have 3 way match i.e PO=IV=GR when MRBR release program unblock the
    invoice for payment.
    Is it possible in standard or we need to have any changes in program.Plz let us know your thoughts and suggestions on the same.
    Thanks and Regards
