final invoice indicator is set automatically for open FO

[alisa_schlossberg-majer]

hello all

scenario is as follows:

we have several framework orders for services and we noticed that they often have the Final Invoice indicator set automatically also if the FO is still open.

I found a note concerning final indicator being automatically set for PO with service indicator but this is not a normal PO, it is a framework order and multiple invoices is something normal.

anyone with an idea of why this happens?

thanks

Alisa

ok, I found the issue 😄

the default in our MIRO is to have the "Final invoice" checkbox checked and the person who posted it did not pay attention!!

thanks anyway

hello Andreas

thank you for your answer.

yes, I have checked the PO history also in the PO and also in CDHDR and CDPOS and nothing appears.

I do not know in which point in time it is set but I suspect it must be during the first invoice: apparently the business confirmed that this happens so far only with PO for materials that are services where there is no GR and there is some note about this.

I guess I will test further because anyway it does not impact the creation of additional invoices but it is confusing

Hello Alisa,

I would not be aware of any functionality by SAP standard which would automatically flag the final invoice indicator in purchase orders, neither in ECC nor in S/4HANA systems. This is also explained in note "3219374 - Final Invoice Indicator in Purchase Order to Set Automatically" or note "377304 - Significance of the final invoice indicator".

I would assume you've already checked the change documents for the concerned framework orders, both via ME23N and via CDHDR and CDPOS tables?

Do you find any similarities between the FOs where the EREKZ is set?

Did already find out at which point of time the EREKZ will be set automatically?

I think without a deeper analysis in the systems, it's close to impossible to come up with an approriate solution. I'd suspect some custom-specific development.

Best

Andreas
