MRBR- Remove Blocking reason automatically

Hi,
we have below scenario:
Invoice created for a vendor in MIRO with reference to PO withour GR. Payment Block "R-Invoice Verification" is set in the invoice due to Quantity and Price Block.
Now the requirement is to remove the Invoice block automatically in the background and work item should be removed from the inbox.
When we scheduled a batch job for MRBR with options "Release automatically" ,system selects only the invoice where the reason code is invalid i.e., where a GR has been performed for the invoice.
Checked SDN forum but could not find the solution.
Can you suggest how we can automatically remove the block using MRBR without creating GR.
Thanks in advance.
Raj.

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

Code for AP Invoice Payment Block and Blocking Reason

What is the best way to code unblocking of Accounts Payable Invoice - using FM FI_DOCUMENT_CHANGE, BDC or direct table update.
Also, i need to remove blocking reasons for MM documents. I am not sure what table this is stored? Are there any FMs that can do this or does anybody have any example code?
Help much appreciated
Andrew

Hi,
Also, i need to remove blocking reasons for MM documents. I am not sure what table this is stored? Are there any FMs that can do this or does anybody have any example code?
The table is RBKP_BLOCKED.
To remove blocking reasons have a look at transaction MRBR.
Best regards.

MRBR - fails to check manual block reason code on a mass release.

Transcaiton MRBR - I need to mass release of invoices but not allow it to release if a manual block.reason is set to a Q.
The manual block reasons with a Q can only be release by a specific group of users.
This works when releasing individual invoices, but if you release a mass amount, it does not check the manaul block reason value.

tested it. you are correct in this. still allowed in NW640/19. found no note in service.sap.com/notes either - you might want to open a call then, M_RECH_SPG does not work when all items are marked.

Problem about release of blocked 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

Output MRBR: Payment Block (PMNT Block) and Logistics Payment Block

dear all-
Today I was working on an issue related to trx MRBR. I noticed that in the list that is generated by MRBR (when you opt for 'manual release') there are interesting fields:
- one is called 'payment block'
- the other is called 'logistics payment block'
I see that when an invoice line item has one or more blocking reasons the field 'logistics payment block' is filled with the value A. The 'F1 help' provides a good explanation. The other field (just 'payment block') is blank (although 'F1 help' suggests that the value R can be expected)!
Does anyone know what the difference is between those 2 payment blocks? And why is one blank?
thx
Ben

The logistics (MM) payment block is the payment block in the MM invoice, either set manually or automatically (e.g. price difference to PO).
The field payment block comes from the vendor line of the accounting document and is automatically set by system when a blocked MM is saved.
Hope that helps.

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.

MIRO - Blocking reason: order price quantity

Dear all,
In the line item of a imcoming invoice (MIRO), I found the item is blocked due to "order price quantity".
In the F1 document of this field "Blocking reason: order price quantity", the explanation is "Specifies if the invoice item is blocked due to order price quantity variance." However, it's still a little hard for me to understand. Can anyone help me?
Thank you so much.
Christina

Hi
This is due to variance in GRdoc and MIRO value.Please check the value and quantity ordered and received of GRN and MIRO.
You can remove this block via MRBR transaction.
You also can set tolerance for these vatriances, in GRN you can provide the tolerance limit.
Cheers

Difference between deleting invoice blocking reason and releasing blocked i

Hi - in mrbr we have two options - one is to delete a blocking reason and the other is to release the invoice.
It appears that it is possible to delete the blocking reason and this releases the invoice for payment.
It is also possibel to releease the invoice without deleting the blocking reason and this has the same effect.
Why do both things appear to do the same?

Hi,
The both cases differ in approach, we use delete blocking reason if there is any block existing for the Invoice and after that if the system finds no other block on Invoice header ten the Invoice is automatically released, however if we go for direct release then only those Invoices are released which had blocking reasons but some business transactions have nullified the block already.

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.

Payment Block Reason Overview Screen

What does "Not Changeable" Indicator Does in Payment Block Reasons Screen
What happens if we check that
A detail answer is well appreciated.
Harsh
Moderator: Please, avoid asking basic questions

Dear:
I think you are talking about the settings in Tcode OB27. If the checkbox for 'Not Changeable' is activated you cannot change the Payment block directly and vice versa . Manual payment like in F-53 does not consider payment block unless you do not configure it in OB27. You can latter release this invoice only using MRBR. This is for your information.

Payment block reason

Hi Gurus,
can anyone explain where payment block reasons are used?
pls help
Regards
ravi

HI,
Manual payment block
If you manually select a payment block from the list field to block an invoice for payment, the payment block field in the header of the invoice document is marked with the appropriate indicator.
Blocked due to differences
If invoices are to be blocked automatically due to differences in the invoice items, the system enters the payment block R in the vendor line of the Accounting document. The field in the header of the invoice document remains empty.
Random payment block
Invoices that do not show any other blocking reason, can be blocked in accordance with the random principle. In Customizing for the Logistics invoice verification, you can set the probability for the block. The indicator for the logistical payment block is entered in the header of the invoice document.
Thanks and points
Vasu.
