EDI Invoice Verification - Suppressing Validation

[Former Member]

We receive most of our supplier invoices via EDI. We don't use FI/CO (yet) but interface out of SAP to a non-SAP system. For reasons to do with the quality of our data, we don't want to validate inbound invoices against PO's but merely post them as liabilities against the supplier. Is there a way of doing this? We have tried manipulating the flags in the V_076S_M table without success. I know this is a slightly bizarre requirement but any help would be appreciated.

Hi Peter,

You can use the Directposting to G/L accounts with MM functionality by activating the user exit EXIT_SAPLMRMH_015 based on the SAP version you are using or you can directly use the FI functionality as you are not posting against a PO.

Please let me know if you require further details.

Thnaks & Regards

Thankf you for that - will this mean that it will effectively post the header values in the invoice IDOC only and 'ignore' the line items that reference the purchase orders?
