2 Way Match

[Former Member]

Guys we have vendor in case we don't have GR Based invoice verification (GR Based indicator is unchecked in PO).I created a PO for this Vendor and  parked the invoice before any GR was posted.  I was able to park it and post it in the full PO  amount.  We were able to then post GR documents for the PO. 

Next, I created another PO for the same scenario.  This time we did two GR documents before we entered the invoice.  I created the invoice in MIR7 and parked it, but it has the hard stop message below. 

Quantity invoice greater than GR receipt quantity.

The sequence of events affects the results.  As long as we post the invoice before the first GR, it lets us post.  If there is already a GR when we enter the invoice, it stops us. 

Can you please let me know how I can go around this if I post GR in 2 ways match before invoice.

Hi Ren,

This is standard functioning of SAP. Even though the Message M8081 is set as an Error Message in OMRM transaction, the system will not consider this message when an invoice is posted without a material receipt with no GR-Based Iv indicator set in PO. But the same message will appear as Error if you try to post an Invoice for a PO which has deliveries.

The reason is, this Message is configured to pop up only in the cases when there is a delivery and not in the cases when there is no delivery. So there is no control over this, but when you post an invoice which has no delivery it will get blocked for payment though which can be later automated to be released though the automated MRRL program.

Manoj,

If I like to pay invoice before the goods receipts for some of my vendors what options do I have ? .Do I need to configure Prepayment ? Any idea how it works.

It depends, you can also do so from F-47/F-48 transactions from FI perspective. But if you need to have a proper track of Down payments at PO, then you will have to go for the activation of Business Function LOG_MMFI_P2P.

Have a look at the Release Notes for Enhancement Package 4, you should have more details pertaining to this.
