Checking of Duplicate Invoice Posted in SAP

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are testing the system if it can process duplicate invoice. However, we encountered a problem because after configuration and testing, we were able to process two invoices in a scenario (Please see scenario 2 no. 2). We configured our Invoice Verification in such a way that the system checks if there is a duplicate invoice thru the path (IMG, Materials Management, Logistics Invoice Verification, Incoming Invoice, Set check for Duplicate Invoices). From the Vendor Master, we also ticked the “Check double invoice” so that it will check the duplicate invoices. When we did the testing, here are the results:

Scenario 1

1.     We processed an invoice verification in FI using FV60 first with Sales Invoice (SI) no. 70. When we processed it in MIRO, the system did not accept because it is already a duplicate. The system gave a reference FI doc number of the processed PO where the SI No. 70 was used… Configuration is worked well.

Scenario 2

1.     When we tried to invoice twice in MIRO using two same invoices, SI No. 71, system rejected the second invoice and gave an error saying that the SI number entered is already processed… Configuration worked well.

2.     We processed invoicing in FI using FV60 using SI No. 71. The system processed it and did not prompt as a duplicate SI. The system allowed it to be processed… Configuration did not work well.

The system should have prompted that the invoice is already processed in Scenario 2 no. 2. Does anybody have an idea or have experienced this? Maybe we missed something in the configuration?

Please advise.

Thanks,

Matt

Hi,

Do following setting which will work  for MIRO,FV60 and FB60 t.code.

Have "Reference number" mandatory in 'Required during document entry segment' in "RE" document type in t.code:OBA7 and save.

and

Set Error message for messages M8-108 & M8-462 in t.code: OMRM and  save.

Do MIRO or FB60 or FV60 by entering in invoice number in field of "Reference number" as for example: I123(which is mandatory) for your company code & save.Next time when you do post MIRO or FB60 or FV60 for your company code with same Reference number I123,system would not allow you to post document.

Matt,

My assumption is that  even though you can park two invoices, you can post only one.

configuration is only relevant for Logistics Invoice verification. It will not work on FV60.
