BAPI or FM to create Invoice in SRM , without reference to PO ?

[Former Member]

Dear Colleagues,

We have a situation where we have to create invoices in SRM from a file from a legacy system, that means we have no POs in SRM.

Which process, BAPI or Function Module would you recommend me? Is it possible to create "standard" invoices in SRM with a BAPI, and have those invoices be displayed afterward in the standard SRM functionality/transactions, plus have a subsequent invoice created in the backend?

Will award point to helpful answers.

Many thanks,

David

Hi David,

You could also look at following FM's :

BAPI_INVOICEEC_CREATE

and

BBP_PD_INV_TRANSFER

Thanks for your help, but I still dont know which FM is best, or what is the difference.

Can i use this FM to post an invoice without reference to a PO? How do I fill/pass the vendor and item data? Do you have any example on how to pass the data to the FM?

Which FM are called by the system when a vendor creates a NON-PO Invoice? Any idea?

If I use the FM to transfer to backend, will the invoice go through all standard verifications in SRM and R/3?

Thanks again, regards

Hi,

You may use BBP_PD_INV_CREATE functionl module to create the invoice and then BBP_PD_INV_TRANSFER_V2 to transfer it to backend.

Thanks
