Answer 1

Hi,
If the goods have been received, the vendor hasnu2019t invoiced for the goods and wonu2019t be invoicing (for example, the vendor has gone out of business - Use MR11
An invoice with reference to a purchase order was paid through accounts payable FI instead of procurement. Use MR11
The goods were received and sent back to the vendor for poor quality. The vendor was accidentally paid and we will not be reimbursed due to bankruptcy of the vendor - Use MR11
Quantity ordered = 100 ea. at a unit price of $1.00, receive quantity of 97 ea. at a unit price of $1.00. If the remaining balance of 3 ea. will not be shipped, purchaser needs to reduce the open quantity on the purchase order to reflect the actual amount received. DO NOT Use MR11
During the normal business flow of the documents, 99% of your Purchase Orders will show up on the GR/IR at some time and should NOT be cleared. Nothing should be done to them through MR11. When the normal business process is completed, the doument will no longer have a discrepancy between the GR and IR, and will not be on the list when you run MR11
