Invoice Block -IR before GR

[Former Member]

Dear SAP Gurus,

Please could you suggest me solution for the below question.

Most of the cases Invoice posted before the GR is posted, at this stage client wants to block the invoice's for payment automatically.

After GR posting, probably we can run release program to release the payment blocks

What are the setting we should made to block the invoice automatically? I understand this nothing todo with Finance consultant.

Would appreciate your early responce.

Configure Tolerace limits for in transaction OMR6. Test if PP, BW, BR will address your requirement.

Schedule MRBR to run automatically (set parameter to Release automatically).

If you were to enter an invoice without a reciept. The system will block the invoice due to the tolerances that you've set. Running MRBR automatically releases blocked invoices for which the blocking parameters do not apply anymore. So if a reciept was entered against your Invoiced PO, MRBR will automatically release that invoice.

Hi,

You can block all invoices to check them again through Stochastic block automatically. If the stochastic block is active and you post an invoice that is not subject to any other blocking reason, it can be selected for blocking.

Please make a note that- A stochastic block is not set at item level, but for the whole invoice. If a stochastic block is set when you post the invoice, the system automatically sets an R in the field Payment block in the document header data; there is no blocking indicator in the individual items.

In Customizing for Invoice Verification, you can define:

-If stochastic blocking is active

-The degree of probability of a block. You set a threshold value and a percentage for this.

If you enter a threshold value of zero and a percentage of 99.9%, all invoices would then be blocked automatically.

Regards,

Narayana.
