DSN suggestion on How to Park a Ariba Supplier Indirect Purchase Invoice in SAP S4 HANA

[srinivas_ekbote]

Hi DSN Experts,

My Client is in the process of implementing DSN for SAP S/4 HANA 1909 (On Prem). Appreciate if some one can tell me is there is any specific settings in Ariba Network to post the Indirect Procurement Invoice (2 way Match in SAP S4 HANA system) submitted from "Supplier Standard Acct" portal to back system S4 HANA system.

Scenario is as below:

We have 2 Separate Supplier Groups (Maintained separately both Vendor Invoice Transaction Rules) one for Direct Material Purchase (Invoice 3 way match) and Other is for Indirect Material Purchase (Invoice 2 way match).

MM Invoice for Indirect Purchase in the SAP S4 HANA backend system should "Park the Invoice" untill it is verified and released. This is not he case for Direct Material Purchase (3 way match)

Appreciate your input.

Thanks in advance !

Regards,

Srinivas

Hey Srinivas,

There is no specific setting on the network that controls the posting of an invoice in S/4. Is there an error you are encountering ?

Hi Srinivas,

Invoice Parking requires SAP code level customization. You can follow below steps to Park invoice instead of posting.

Invoices would be processed by inbound FM "IDOC_INPUT_INVOICE_MRM".

First of all, you have to implement the customer exit under the enhancement MRMH0002.

- Add below custom logic inside EXIT_SAPLMRMH_014 for program INCLUDE ZXM08U25.

e_rbkpv-rbstat = 'A'.

e_change = 'X'.

Once you make the changes, try to submit an invoice .

I hope this would solve your problem as we have implemented the same for our client.

Thanks,

Thanks Arjun.

My requirement is bit different. I think with suggested enhancement, that will "Park" all the Invoices coming from Direct Purchase as well as Indirect Suppliers form supplier portal ???

Thanks,

As per above code, all incoming invoices will be parked in S4 system.

But you can add custom logic to filter direct/indirect materials before processing this code.

HI DSN Team,

We have added this customization as mentioned (refer screen shot attached)

However the INVOICE still gets POSTED in S4 HANA (1909) system. Are we missing anything else?

Is there any restriction for a PO based invoice (such as header level only is posted etc.)?

Hi Muntasir,

Are you able to park your incoming invoices in S4 Hana.

It seems from your comment that you are facing the issue with invoices getting posted instead of getting parked.

Please let me know if you find any solution for the same, since in our case also invoice is getting posted instead of park after maintaining all configuration.

Thanks & Regards

Hi Romit,

We are also NOT able to PARK an invoice. We are looking for a solution for this same.

We have done the following Customization in S4 - however, its NOT fruitful.

Thanks,

Hi Muntasir,

We were able to park the invoice for the scenario when PO is Non GR based or GR is already done in the system.

Please implement the SAP Note 501524. after that the system will start parking the invoices and no accounting information will be created and those invoice will be available for further action via T code MIR6 or visible in Purchase Order History.

For the scenario were the PO is GR based, still the incoming invoices is getting failed if GR is not done and we are checking for any further configuration on the same.

Let me know your input for the same, if it is working for your case or not.

Thanks & Regards
