Invoice status info to vendors

[Former Member]

Hello All

Is there any readymade package available from SAP, wherein the suppliers can check the invoice status.

For e.g. Whether the Invoice has been entered in SAP, what is the due date, whether it is already paid, or if there is any block?

Currently we are getting a high volume of calls to A/P support from vendors enquiring about the status of their invoices.

We thought about making a BW report available to suppliers thru Enterprise portal, but are really unsure about the feasibility and cost required for extending the portal to thousands of suppliers.

As a pilot we would like to start with the indirect suppliers.

Hi,

If you are using MM application along with SUS(Supplier Self Services) for vendors, then you can find the payment status of the Invoice posted by the SUS vendor from the SUS application using the functionality of "Check Payment" status which makes call to the backend system and retrieves the Invoice payment status.

Best regards,

Hello Kedar,

You can try creating a Z program in ECC for reading open invoices for suppliers. Then you can send mails to supplier informing them the invoice statuses.

Thanks Krithika and Sanjeev

1) We are concerned with not only SUS vendors (which are few) , but all the vendors.

2) Regarding creating zprog and sending email to suppliers, we are rather looking at a more real time

system , where the suppliers can themselves , check the status.

For e.g. even Transaction FBL1N, if available to each supplier over internet could be very helpful.

( as long as they are restricted to check only their own invoices)

Any pointers to such a system would be appreciated

Regards

Kedar
