Control invoice creation by document type

[CelesteForte]

Hi Team, is there any way to Activate/Deactivate the invoice button for a particular PO document type.

In our case, our customer wanted to avoid creation of invoices for a particular PO type, but allow creation of invoices for another PO doc type both for the same supplier (So we cannot control by supplier group rules)

thank you in advace.

Hello,

You cannot do it per document type.

But you can control it per each PO by specifying this piece of information in control keys that come from SAP.

One of the control keys controls if invoicing is allowed or not (which in the end makes invoice button available or greyed out).

To use control keys you need to enable entitlement that will make control keys taking precedence over default transaction rules on Ariba Network

Hi Prem,

If we enable this entitlement we need to control all the keys for each PO right? It can be enabled only for invoice or it applies on all the documents confirmation, ASN, Invoice?

For example, if at this moment we does not allow ASN by transaction rules, we would need to indicate it in each PO payload (with a custom mapping)?

Thanks!

Yes that is correct.

Usually SAP customers enables control keys because they use that concept in SAP, so there is nothing really artificial you need to do with IDOC/CXML. Customer/requester is setting appropriate control key on each PO in sap.
