Zero Dollar Line Item - Invoice Expected flag

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

When our buyers source a zero dollar line item, they are required to DESELECT the Invoice Expected box (under the purchase order line item follow on documents) in order for the PO to go out the door. Is there any way to adjust that so we can still have the PO go out the door and still have the Invoice Expected box checked? Or is this a system bug that forces us to do this?

The reason we need it checked is because we are trying to imlement electronic invoicing and the vendors do send us invoices that have zero dollar items. Because of that box being checked the entire IDOC fails. We are using IDOC: INVOIC01.

FYI. We are on SRM 2005 SP12.

Any guidance is appreciated.

Hi,

You can try following solutions.

1. Try making the error message as warning and order the PO. See if ECC accepts the PO.

2. Use BBP_ECS_OUT_PO badi to pass the invoice indicator in ECC PO.

Brilliant suggestion about just turning off the message. We'll give it a try and see if it fixes the issue.

Thanks for the quick response!
