Payment blocking upto quality approving

Hi,
Client is not using QM Module.
After GR , sometimes it take almost 1 month for the quality approval.
By this time the invoice goes to Finance dept , but purchase dnt want to make the payment for this until quality approval.
In SAP any settings are there to block payment until quality approval.
Finance people cant trace whether quality approved or not , coz it is done out of SAP.
Material will be in unrestricted status until the quality inspection.
Kindly advise.
regards,

Hi.
Make the GR in the GR blocked stock. I mean by using movement type 103. If you make a GR in GR blocked stock system will not update the stock quantity and value.
Once the stock is approved by quality you can do transfer posting from movement type 103 to 105.Hence it will update the stock quantity and stock value in the system.
Also you can activate invoice block key DW: Quantity variance when GR quantity = zero.
I hope this would be the ideal solution for your problem.
Hope this helps you.
Cheers
Umakanth

Payment block without the approval

Hi Gurus,
my users need to be shown a message as" <b>this payment is blocked due the non-approval"</b> during the payment of unapproval of quality check of material.
Pls help me out, its urgent.
Satya.

Hello Satya,
You need to activate the QM for procurement.
- Go to OQB1 -> select the control key which you are using and flag mark "Block Invoice"
- Use this control key in the material master in QM view
If this indicator is set, when the invoice is created, the system determines whether an inspection lot exists and if necessary, sets blocking reason I. This occurs in the following instances:
o There is still no usage decision for the inspection lot
o The inspection lot is rejected
The automatic payment program checks whether the blocking reason I still exists.
Now make sure that when accounting dept creates invoice they give refernce with Delivery or Goods Receipt.
Hope this helps.

(INVOICE) PAYMENT BLOCK DUE TO QUALITY REASON

Dear All,
We are working on QM implementation for one of our client.
The process is as follows
1.     MIGO with Mvt 103
2.     Inspection lot is generated after Mvt 103
3.     Usage decision for inspection lot. Lot accepted and moved to Unrestricted use stock (Mvt 105)
4.     MIRO w.r.to PO
Requirement: We wish to have payment block for the material. For that we have maintained Control Key for u201CInvoice Blocku201D in Quality Management view of Material Master record. So that after invoice verification, invoice document is generated but the status should be u201CBlocked for Paymentu201D.
Issue: For some of the purchase order u201CInvoice is blocked for the payment while for others invoice is not blocked for the paymentu201D. Please note that both the purchase order are identical in terms of material, vendor, pur grp, mat grp and all the possible entries.
Moreover in another case, for the same purchase order, one invoice is blocked for payment while other is not blocked for payment.

Hope so it helps

Payment block due to quality reasons

Hi Gurus,
My client would like to have a the payment blocked when the material is in quality inspection upon GR. Using a QM control key 0007 in material master, we can set invoice block due to quality reasons.
However, I would like to have the payment blocked when the received material is in QI stock. The manual payment block works in MIRO, but how can the payment be blocked automatically?
Thanks for your inputs on the same.

Aroop

Payment block reasons

Hi,
what are the settings i need to do for payment block reasons, i am working in quality management, when i don't approve the quality check, it is allowing for outgoing payment, and it should work like this once i approve the invoice and it should not ask for payment is blocked. Please provide complete config for payment block

Hi Sai
Payment block reason is assigned to differentiate among the reasons why invoices are not paid. You can define as many reasons as your business requires. However block is applicable for all Co Codes defined.
In payment block reason, you have 3 options:
Changes in payment proposals- If you select this, you can edit or delete the block at the time of Payment proposal
Manual payment block- This is to restrict the clearing even if the incoming or outgoing payment is made via manual entry
Not changeable- This cannot be cancelled or editable by the user.
Hope this clarifies your question.

Payment block due to Vendor Payment Terms/Method.

Hi All
We have a situation where we have a payment block due to difference in amount while doing MIRO and PO. (An entry gets created in RBKP_BLOCKED table with Log. Payment Block = 'A'). When we release blocked invoices after changing the PO amount through t code MRBR (selected release automatically), it changes the log payment block field from 'A' to 'M' but the entry remains there.
This is happening only for foreign vendors and that too with payment terms 'CV06' (Automatic Payment). For domestic vendors it removes the entry from RBKP_BLOCKED table all together which we want in case of foreign vendors as well.
Thanks in advance.

Regarding the payment block workflow trigger

Hi Gurus
1. All the invoices should be posted with payment block u201CZu201D (customized) where it is not already populated by MIRO with standard u201CRu201D.
2.Everyday the accountant of the concerned section will run the payment proposal (Automatic Payment Program). All the invoices that are due will be selected in the proposal with payment block u201CZu201D or u201CRu201D. Then the accountant manually replaces payment block u201CZu201D or u201CRu201D with u201CSu201D (customized) (signifying start of workflow) in the invoices picked up in the proposal.
3.Once the payment block changes to u201CSu201D, workflow event should trigger to alert the Section head.
4.The Section Head then scrutinizes the proposal and wherever he approves the payment block u201CSu201D should be removed in the proposal list. The payment block in all other invoices not approved by the Section Head should be changed from u201CSu201D to u201CZu201D or u201CRu201D again.
5.The information of rejected invoices should pass to the accountant.
Roles: 2
1.Accountant (who has authorization to change the payment block from u201CZu201D or u201CRu201D to u201CSu201D only)
2.Section Head (who has authorization to approve or to reject)
Even I given the BOR as BSEG and event as created (Posting item with Payment Block ) .
I configured as follows.
1) defined the workflow variant,
2) assigned the workflow variant to company code
3) defined the payment block as blank
But In Event simulation i got workflow get started but it not started. But there is nor event logs too.
Please help me if you know anything regarding this..
regards
vel

Hi Vel
Did you fix your problem already? recently, I have got a same request from user. The requirement is that after the payment proproal has been confirmed, the workflow should be started by this change and triggers it to send out an email for those vendors by their email address. If you or anybody know about the solution for creating this workflow, please kindly instruct me how to do it, since I am a fresher.
Thanks

Payment block R in vendor line item..

Hi Gurus,
I am basically a FICO consultant.My client has an issue in running the automatic payment program.For some vendors, in the line item the payment block R is assigned.Now I just want to find out the reason of this payment block.They usually do the ERS through MRRL.So there is no reason of quantity and price difference betwen the gr and the inv. But why still this block R? Is there any good way to remove this block so that the payment can be done through the APP?Points will be given to the good answers?At least please give me some clues why this block is assigned I mean the reason.
Thanks/Regards
Debabrat

Payment block R can come for various reasons like delivery schedule,terms of payment,quality reasons etc.
Use
You can block an invoice manually. You have two options for doing this when you enter the invoice:
You can block an invoice by entering an R in the field Payment block in the document header data.
You can block an item by selecting the M (manual blocking reason) field in the item list. When you post the invoice, the system automatically sets an R in the field Payment block in the vendor line of the accounting document. Manually blocked items are given the blocking reason Manual block (M).
the best way to remove the block is to run MRBR transaction

Payment block "R" in MIRO

Hi Experts
In what circumstances, the payment block "R" (invoice verificaiton) gets updated in invoice header, while MIRO.
Warm regards
ramSiva

Hi
Normally, system puts Blocking indicator "R" automatically where is there is any variance between MIGO and MIRO
The invoice is blocked if any goods receipts are still in quality inspection. If an invoice is posted before the goods are received, it cannot be blocked for quality inspection

Payment block "R" in accouting document of AP.

Dear all,
I found the vendor item in an accouting document has been set as block for payment "R" - Invoice verification. This accouting document was generated via MIRO.
But now this block has been removed in accouting document, and now I can't find the block reason for the related invoice via MRBR.
I want to know if there is a method, that I can find the block reason, because I am not sure if this block is set due to tolerance limit.
Or is there any other reason to set payment block "R" to a vendor, except tolerance limit.
Thank you for your help.
BR,
Christina

Hi,
If you have maintained the QM Control key in the material master which has invoice block tick in the setting. the standard behavior of the SAP system is as the following:
If to the material the QM in procurement is active and in the QM control key invoice block is active the invoice will be blocked for quality reasons if there is still no usage decision for the inspection lot or if
the inspection lot is rejected.
The invoice itself will be blocked automatically, the Payment Block Key will be set to R. The Blocking reason I is not visible in the invoice and has nothing to do with the settings in OMR9.
As per the online documentation:
Quality Inspection (I)
If a material is defined as being relevant for quality management, goods receipts for this material are posted to stock in quality inspection. Invoices for the material are blocked until the inspection has been
successfully completed.
If more than one goods receipt is posted for an order item, an inspection is carried out for every goods receipt. In Invoice Verification, the system reacts differently depending on whether goods-receipt-based Invoice Verification is active:
Goods-receipt-based Invoice Verification is defined in the purchase order.
The invoice is blocked if the inspection has not been completed for the goods receipt.
Goods-receipt-based Invoice Verification is not defined in the purchase order.
The invoice is blocked if any goods receipts are still in quality inspection. If an invoice is posted before the goods are received, it cannot be blocked for quality inspection.
Hope the informations are useful to you!

1 Item was not activated due to online payment block

I have a service PO and was doing Service Sheet being prepared in MIGO and then we were doing MIRO on periodic basis (monthly) and then making payment F-53. The Service PO is not over, however now we are getting an error as mentioned in Subject line while making paymenet. We could do upto MIRO. Kindly Suggest.

Hi,
Just check if there is some payment block for this vendor.
If you have not put the pmt. block, there could be some substitution/validation to put a payment block for this vendor.
Just remove the payment block and try to make payment.
Wish you all the Best.

Purchase ledger invoices that are blocked for quality inspection.

Purchase ledger invoices that are blocked for quality inspection.When invoices are keyed against a stock item that is required to be checked for quality the invoice automatically blocks. Once the check has been carried out and the batch has been released the invoice should automatically release for payment according to terms, however this is not happening.I checked MSC3N,where batch is in unrestricted and status released.Still in material document shows batch in QI.
Can any one what is the problem.

Hi
check in MMBE where the material is lying under the batch .Is it under QI or Unrestricted.
from QI07 you can put it into Unrestricted or take the UD of lot if generated.
please revert back

Payment Block A in ERS document

Experts,
When we put an A blcok in the vendor master and post invoices using LIV, the invoice is posted. When you display the invoice document, you will not see the A block on document level. We know that when the invoice is due, the payment proposal will report that the invoices can not be paid due to the A block in the vendor master. The A block need to be removed from the VM to be able to pay the invoices.
However, if we post ERS invoices for the same vendor, the ERS document posted contain the A blcok on document level and we need to remove the A block on document level.
Why is there a difference between ERS and "normal" invoices with these A blocks ?
Appreciate your feed back
Thanks
Fred
