Post Invoice allowed after CLSD

[Former Member]

Dear Expert,

Recently we found that even after a WBS was set as closed(CLSD), user could still post invoice for a PO(MIRO) which reference this WBS. As to my previous understanding, this should not be allowed.

I have checked system status(Tcode: BS23) and for the system status CLSD: transaction RMRP(Incoming invoice) was set as "forbidden" .

Could any one explain why this happen, and how to control it ?

Thanks and Best Regards,

aTom

The invoice has no effect on the WBS unless there is a discrepancy.

It is the GR for PO that is important - that is when the debit hits the WBS element.

The invoice only credits vendor and debits the GR/IR account

If you did not have a PO, and then you wanted to post an invoice against a WBS element, if status is CLSD then as per BS23 it will be forbidden.

Hi Virendra:

Thanks for your kindly response.

Could you please explain what kind of "discrepancy" is possible to exist?

And as to your opinion, does it mean that if I have a PO(assigned to a WBS) which already finished GR, then posting a invoice against the PO should not be controlled by the system status of WBS?

Regards,

Tom

Discrepancy is based on your invoice matching set up

example - if the invoice if for 10 items , but you have only 9 on PO and only 8 on GR
