Quantity Received in MIRO Vs Quantity Received in MIGO

[Micheal_Mathews]

Hi Experts,

Please help me understand as to why SAP has provided the quantity field in MIRO when GRN and everything related to it is controlled through T-Code MIGO. I need to understand the impact of the following, please see the example below.

The PO is for quantity 80 and price 10 each so total PO value 800.

Post which i make a GRN (MIGO) for quantity 80.

Now when i punch the Invoice (MIRO) i mention price 800 but quantity 90, system gives me a warning saying that quantity exceeded GRN quantity.

However if i save this what will happen? Will my inventory go up by 10 units? Just want to understand what is the business impact if quantity received in MIRO is more than the quantity received in MIGO.

Thank you

As i was telling you.

This qty and price in miro effect financials and the price difference accounts when compared to migo

Also it is obsured to pay without qty right?

You pay more or less make a note it is not a open payment but with ref to a Po for which you are buying for a qty for aggreed price for that qty.

At the end of the po cycle sytem will except a qty and price tally in terms of what you pay and receive else system will not allow to close the po cycle and ur gl s will not be balanced.

Last but not least the payment is what?

It is a quantifial and measured.payment and not a wage. How much you pay will depend upon qty of po only else will become fi individual payment in sap.

Hi,

As per standard SAP, IR quantity will not exceed than GR Quantity. This is possible when in System GR based IV option as set.

But in case where IR can be possible before GR, so to control the Quantity option is available and it should not be exceed than PO Qty except tolerance.

Hi bhumi_1star ,

Thank you for your response, I tested the steps mentioned by you in UAT and this is what i observed:

Point 1

As per standard SAP, IR quantity will not exceed the GR Quantity. This is possible when in System GR based IV option as set. - To test this i made a PO with GR-IV check for quantity 10 price 10. Then i make a GRN (MIGO) for quantity 5, then i check my stock and note that the stock has increased by quantity 5.

Now using MIRO i make an invoice for price 5 quantity 10, now system gives me a warning saying "Quantity invoiced greater than goods receipt quantity" Message No M8081. Now when i ignore this error and save the invoice, the invoice is saved with price 5, quantity 10 but has a payment block. Now this payment block can easily be removed using MRBR.

Now when i check the stock the stock is not updated, even though i have punched the invoice. So my question is what sense does this quantity field make in MIRO? What business impact can it probably have? What is the use case of this field?

Point 2

But in case where IR can be possible before GR, so to control the Quantity option is available and it should not be exceed than PO Qty except tolerance.

To test this i made a PO without GR-IV check for quantity 10 price 10. Then i punch a MIRO for quantity 5 price 5 system gives a warning saying "Quantity delivered is zero" Message no. M8088. So now again after saving, the invoice is blocked for payment and there is no increase in stock as well.

Please help me understand the use case for this quantity field in MIRO and do let me know if i am doing this the wrong way. Your time and help on this is really appreciated.

Hi raghavendra.sai ,

I have the following questions

1) Invoice will be blocked for payment - Will this happen automatically or the system has to be configured for this?

2) I want to understand if i increase the quantity in MIRO will this have any impact? Will this item be counted in my inventory?

Check price control of material master- S or V?

Check GR accounting document with all G/L accounts updates for that PO

Before posting MIRO- check price of material in material master if price control V

During MIRO for a PO- GR quantities will be defaulted along with price value but why you are entering price manually ?

Hi biju.k ,

During MIRO for a PO- GR quantities will be defaulted along with price value but why you are entering price manually ? - This is exactly what we are testing in audit. We want to understand the risk which lies here what will happen if i follow the procedure mentioned in my question?

Will a GRN of additional 10 items be accepted in the system via MIRO? Will my inventory go up?

[BijayKumarBarik]

You can test all these scenarios on MIRO posting in TEST system, invoice will be posted with accounts update(if accounting keys assigned with G/L accounts) in each case and based on quantity or value tolerance- created invoice will be blocked for payment and later you can release with MRBR for payment to vendor.
