SES to Invoice process

[former_member746072]

The below mentioned process is carried out in DSN(SNAP CA), is there a workaround to configure the 3-way match in SAP.

1. Abstract, Invoice and Compliance documents will be shared by vendor via PO flip on Ariba Supplier Portal.

2. SES will be created in ECC along with Attachments and status of SES will reflect as “Not Accepted”.

3. SES 1(release strategy in SES) is released.

4. After SES1 release, Supplier will flip invoice and submit the invoice on Ariba Supplier Portal.

5. SES2 is released and accepted based upon the invoice.

6. Then the actual invoice will be posted.

Hi Prem,

The client want to receive the invoice from supplier portal before accepting the SES in ECC. So, I mentioned that the 3-way match is not possible because invoice is getting submitted before the SES acceptance.

But, client is requesting that invoice to be submitted before SES acceptance and 3-way match also. Can you, please suggest any workaround for the same.

Hello,

Unfortunately the way system is designed you need to send SES first and have invoice going through 3-way match afterwards based on that SES that is approved in SAP.

I am not aware of any workarounds.

Best practice is that customers have SES first (submitted by supplier or created in ERP by SAP user) and according to that Invoice is submitted.

Prem
