PO Collaboration : Invoice Creation Type field

Question

Hello,
The Invoice Creation Type field in the SNC Web UI is always "Invoice Creation not allowed" irrespective of the settings to the Master Data / Transaction Data.
Given below are the settings I ve maintained
ECC System:
PO -> Item Details -> Invoice Tab:
Inv. Receipt Indicator - Checked
GR-Bsd IV - Checked / Unchecked
SNC System:
Vaildation Checks - Tried both these settings:
1. PO_INVOICE_CREATION - Active
    PO_INVOICE_DATA_ASSIGN - Active
    PO_INVOICE_RELATED_TO_PO_OR_ASN - Inactive
2. PO_INVOICE_CREATION - Inactive
    PO_INVOICE_DATA_ASSIGN - Active
    PO_INVOICE_RELATED_TO_PO_OR_ASN - Active
Infact, I am not able to see the Invoice tab itself in the PO details screen in SNC Web UI.
Note : I am using the Orders.Orders05 Idoc for sending the PO from ECC to SNC system.

Hi Bharath
Your settings are fine
Please do the following checks
If you use IDocs of type ORDERS.ORDER05, SAP SNC can instead read the data for these fields from a reference document, such as a contract, that has previously been transferred via the Core Interface (CIF).
In your PO you would have referenced a contract/agreement, Please check whether it is CIFed or not
Also before CIFING do implement these notes
1053121 & 828912
Now when you send the ORDERS idoc, The RON xml reads this data and puts in structure
<FollowUpInvoice>
  <RequirementCode>01</RequirementCode>
  <GoodsReceiptBasedInvoiceIndicator>TRUE</GoodsReceiptBasedInvoiceIndicator>
  <CustomerSelfBillingIndicator>FALSE</CustomerSelfBillingIndicator>
  <ProductTaxationCharacteristicsCode>V1</ProductTaxationCharacteristicsCode>
  </FollowUpInvoice>
Irrespective, whether you create invoice for ASN or PO, the tab should be visible as Nikhil rightly mentioned
In SAP SNC , Controlling Invoice Creation for POs is done by FollowUpRequirementCode as mentioned above
Now since you are using ORDERS, you need to check you SA or Contract in Item Details Tab
the following fields need to be checked "IR" in both cases and In Header Details Field "Invoicing Party"
Also during creation of PO, make sure you dont check Unlimited Overdelivery in item delivery tab and even in your reference document.
Now after implementing above two notes reCIF and try creating PO, It will work
Please do mention whether you are able to see the above structure in your RON xml in SCM side and what details???
