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.

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.

Unlimited qty item blocked for invoice payment

Hi All,
I am facing problem in invoice payment.The items has been already assigned for overdelivery tolerance as unlimited quantity, but even then they get blocked for invoice payment telling as because of quantity variance they have been blocked.
Kindly guide for some debugging or parameters to be looked upon.

Re: confirmation over PO quantity not possible despite TOG tolerances
Dinesh,
Have you checked all tolerance keys in SRM ?
There are some tolerance key for GR qty, and some for INV amounts.

Set Up Material Block for Invoice Verification

Hi,
Please share your experience for customization setting under General settings for material management "Set Up Material Block for Invoice Verification".
When should we use " Material is bloked at first read" and "Material is blocked when invoice is posted".
Does it improve MIRO transaction performance if we chnage the setting from " Material is bloked at first read" to "Material is blocked when invoice is posted"?
Thanks & Regards,
AG

Hi,
Set Up Material Block for Invoice Verification
Use: -
   In this step, you specify at what point materials are blocked in Invoice Verification:
   o   During the allocation phase, all materials present in the invoice are blocked.
   o   During simulation or posting, materials whose stocks are to be changed are blocked and are read again.
   o   Materials whose stocks are to be changed, are blocked and are read again when you post.
   When you post directly to a material, the given material is blocked immediately in all settings.
Standard settings: -
In the standard system, materials are blocked during the allocation phase.
It is suggested to block materials during allocation phase itself, so that user has not to enter all the details and then get block error at the time of Simulation or Posting. Also it improves the performance since all these transactions need not to be carried out and system informs initially that materials are blocked.

Billing block for invoices and credit notes on Sold-tou00B4s level

Hi All
can we have billing block for invoices and credit notes on Sold-to´s level.
please advice.
Thanks
Tushar

Hi
The bellow way at document level.
One more way to maintian the billing block in the functionality of sales document types in VOV8
In VOV8 , Maintain proper value in billing block field.
So that , when you create the order or credit memo request system automatically pick the billing block.
Once remove the block of billling then only system allow to create the billing or credit memo.
Thanks,

Material Under Quality - Block for invoice/payment

Dear all,
When the material is lying under quality inspection the user should not be able to do invoice posting or posting.By standard its allowing once GR is done.How to do this
Regards,
Milton.I

Dear Vijay,
There was similar requirement from my client for the same. At that time contacted the OSS.
The message no.280 is there but you can not configure it.
Not allowing to post the external document like Invoice as it comes leads to so much descripency in real time.
The best solution what SAP has given is in QM control key just tick the Invoice and when the invoice of that perticular material comes for posting you can post but that will be blocked for the payment if the material is not cleared from the Quality.
As the material cleared from Quality, you can release the Invoices and if the material is rejected can raise the credit memo.
This is what we did after consulting the OSS
Thanks And Regards,

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.
Rgds,
Kunal Vichare.

Price variance workflow for blocked invoices in MM purchasing

Hi Gurus,
We are implementing price variance workflow for blocked invoices. We built a custom workflow to
take care of the routing requirement of the customer.
We also did necessary customization defining the tolerance limits for price variance. Before testing the workflow wanted to check events in SWEL and its is found that system doesn't raise any event for price/ quantity block and hence the workflow is not triggered at all.
Event trace active flag is set in SWELS. I am not able to figure out what we are missing.The invoice gets created correctly with the price/quantity blocks and blocked invoices are available when we see in Tcode 'MRBR'.
Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.
Edited by: srinivas bejjanki on Jan 29, 2009 10:34 PM

Hello,
So you are absolutely sure the event trace is on. If you try SWUE with some other event, you see the entry in SWEL, dated a few minutes ago, correct?
When you try SWUE with BUS2081.BlockedPrice does it give any message?
Does SWUE work with any other BUS2081 event?

Blocking an Invoice for Tolerence Key BR (Percenatge OPUn variance)

Hi Gurus,
I am testing a new scenario in Invoice Tolerence Limits. I need to create a scenario for Invoice getting blocked due to tolerence key "BR". I am able to block the invoices but i am not sure that it is getting blocked due to the tolerence key BR (Percenatge OPUn variance)
Could anybody can throw some light on how to find that it is getting blocked for BR or please tell me how to test this scenario.
Thanks in Advance.
with Regards,
Saakithyan

BR: Percentage OPUn variance (IR before GR)
The system calculates the percentage variance between the following ratios:
1) quantity invoiced in order price quantity units / quantity invoiced in order units (invoice value/inv qty)
2) quantity ordered in order price quantity units /quantity ordered in order units. (or value/ord qty)
The system compares the variance with the upper and lower percentage tolerance limits.
check if the above condn is satisfied.

Bala

Invoice is Blocked for Payment Automatically - No variance found

Hi All,
We are encountering a problem. Some Invoices are getting blocked for payment with blocking reason R = Invoice Verification.
I checked the Quantity, Price and the Dates in the PO and the Invoice but there seems to be no difference. I also checked if stochastic blocking is on. The user said they did not block it manually. There was no GR created for the PO. Is it because there was no GR created? I checked the PO and only the IR box was ticked.
What am I missing here?
Thanks,
jograd

Hi,
I checked tolerance limit BR Percentage OPUn variance (IR before GR) and it says Do not check. Does this mean that it should not be blocked? We are on R/3 4.5, so can we use MR02 to release the blocked Invoice?
Thanks,
jograd

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..

Regarding Tolerance Keys for Invoice Block For Payment in MIRO

Hi all,
In customizing, I have defined Tolerance Keys for Invoice Block for Payment. I have defined all tolerance keys for my company code ...... with Absolute as well as Percentage Limits. But whenever I am doing MIRO & testing for my Block Codes effectiveness, i am finding that everytime my Invoice gets Blocked by Tolerance Key PP(Price Variance) or by date......but not by any other like BD, BW, KW etc. Can anyone help me as how I should check for this. I even tried to study the documentation part available in customizing, but was unable to understand the term like Order Price Quantity units.......Can anyone help me in understanding this thing ........
Regards.....

Hi Ganesh,
below is the user exit where you can check the tolarance and put the Block according to the your requirment.
User Exit name - MM08R002 -User exit for tolerance checks
in the above user exit you have to use the below Function exit.
1) EXIT_SAPLMRMC_001
2) EXIT_SAPLMRMP_001
we implemented the above user exit to put the payment block based on the checks.
You can find the documentation of the above exit in the system.
Thanks

Invoice block for payment when no GR

Hi Folks,
I would like to block an invoice for payment, when no GR has been made and we do not want to use GR based IV!!!!
We want to be able to post the invoice even though no GR has been done.
I tried to mess around with tolerance DQ, without success. I tried to set the tolerances to 0 but no block is set.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Thomas

Hi,
Try Tolerance Key "DW" : Quantity variance when GR quantity = zero
It functions in following way;
DW: Quantity variance when GR quantity = zero
If a goods receipt is defined for an order item but none has as yet been posted, the system multiplies the net order price by (quantity invoiced + total quantity invoiced so far).
The system then compares the outcome with the absolute upper tolerance limit defined.
If you have not maintained tolerance key DW for your company code, the system blocks an invoice for which no goods receipt has been posted yet. If you want to prevent this block, then set the
tolerance limits for your company code for tolerance key DW to Do not check.

MM Invoice gets blocked for payment

Hi Friends
As per business requirement we created a u2018Framework Type POu2019 with 1 as quantity and value as $2000.   Though, quantity is not required as this is value based, since quantity is a mandatory field, we populate quantity with 1 in PO.   While we are receiving multiple invoices against this PO, for each invoice we are populating quantity with 1. Due to this, from 2nd invoice the invoiced quantity exceeds PO quantity and the same are u2018blocked for paymentu2019.   Business expects invoices should not be blocked.
Can you guys suggest any alternative to post invoices without getting u2018Blocked for paymentu2019?
We tried the following options.
1.     We tried to populate .001 as invoiced quantity, but still invoices are blocked for payment due to quantity / price variances.
2.     We tried to populate proportionate quantity based on Invoice value/PO value, but when POu2019 are revised for higher or lower values, this assumption also went wrong.

Hi,
For blanket PO's, the only tolerance keys you can use to block an incoming invoice are LA (amount) and LD (date).
LA: Amount of blanket purchase order
The system calculates the sum of the value invoiced so far for the order
item and the value of the current invoice and compares it with the value
limit of the purchase order. It then compares the difference with the
upper percentage and absolute tolerances defined.
LD: Blanket purchase order time limit exceeded
The system determines the number of days by which the invoice is outside
the planned time interval. If the posting date of the invoice is before
the validity period, the system calculates the number of days between
the posting date and the start of the validity period. If the posting
date of the invoice is after the validity period, the system calculates
the number of days between the posting date and the end of the validity
period. The system compares the number of days with the with the
absolute upper limit defined.
Can you please make sure that these settings are in place and retest.
Please review and implement the following notes if applicable
in your case.
