Why the material tab never appears for Your “Normal” MIRO posting is because, even though you’ve ticked both “Direct posting to G/L accounts” and “Direct posting to material accounts” in IMG, SAP only shows the Material (and G/L) tabs in MIRO when you execute a subsequent‐debit or subsequent‐credit posting; not for the standard PO‐based invoice.
To see the material tab in MIRO, enter your Vendor and PO as usual. On the header toolbar, click the dropdown arrow next to Invoice and choose Subsequent Debit (or Credit). The screen will refresh—and you’ll now see a Material tab alongside the G/L Account tab. That tab is your manual-posting cockpit where you can enter quantities, valuation types, and post directly to the inventory account.
Why the standard invoices don’t show it is because, SAP assumes your PO‐invoice (MIRO with indicator “Invoice”) simply offsets GR/IR. The stock valuation is automatically adjusted via OBYC settings. Exposing the Material tab for a normal invoice would let users accidentally bypass GR/IR and break your reconciliation logic.
