MIRO failing to block an invoice

[Former Member]

Hi,

I'm in a situation where I've maintained the invoice verification control messages and price variance tolerance limits, but the system is not blocking an invoice in situations where an invoice value is smaller than the goods receipt value.

An invoice is blocked and visibile in MRBR (as per the value "W" maintained in message control settings) when I post an invoice using MIRO with the following values:

	Gooods receipt value	Invoice value
Line item 10	11450	15000
Line item 20	3816	5000

However, when I change the values the invoice is not bocked, but posted successfully:

	Gooods receipt value	Invoice value
Line item 10	11450	15000
Line item 20	3816	5000

Any ideas what is causing this? Am I missing some config?

Hi,

What is your PO price with respect to Invoice posting price?

The message setting for  not to allow invoice posting with a error or warning message(OMRM and OBMSG) but the tolerance setting (OMR6)with tolerance key PP will sure block the invoice for payment which you can release later on MRBR or FB02.

Hi,

I've maintained OMRM and OMR6 as mentioned in my previous posts. Please find below the details for a test PO and invoice I've just created.

Any other ideas what could be causing this?

PO value:

GR and invoice values:

+

Price check message prior to invoice creation:

To add to my previous message, when I post the invoice using a price bigger than the PO or GR values the message is the following:

Invoices with too low value will not be blocked for payment, if you go shopping and the cashier wants less money then you are happy too, you pay and keep calm, isn't it?

See KBA    1598731 - No payment block if the lower limit is exceeded during invoice posting - MM-IV

Dear Taalasmaan,

The block you mean by what..?? if it is a Block For Payment then it is already there in place and it is clearly visible in the screen shots what you provided.

If it is not to post the document at all then you put both the Message as Error instead of Warning.

Thanks Jürgen. That is an excellent real life example of how things would or should work. Let's see if my customer is willing to accept that explanation

Thanks for your help. Case is closed.

Hi,

OK, for small difference posting- you can set tolerance limit for BD tolerance key in t.code:OMR6 for your company code and save.

Now retest again.

Hi

First understand why the system will block R block , when there is difference in Price and Quantity  then system will block the IR automatically.

in OMR6 here you maintain tolerance transaction key PP 5 % or 10 % upper limit or lower limit it depends

system will throw error it you are exceeding the PO value while doing IR

What did you change, the customizig values or the invoice values? your example does not show that anything was changed

[Former Member]

Hi,

Sorry about that, perhaps I did not make myself clear enough. I changed the invoice values as shown in the example:

With these values the invoice is blocked:

	Gooods receipt value	Invoice value
Line item 10	11450	15000
Line item 20	3816	5000

With these  values the invoice is not blocked:

	Gooods receipt value	Invoice value
Line item 10	11450	15000
Line item 20	3816	5000

[JL23]

Where is there any difference?

you just posted again the same values

[Former Member]

Here you go

With these values the invoice is blocked:

	Gooods receipt value	Invoice value
Line item 10	11450	15000
Line item 20	3816	5000

With these  values the invoice is not blocked:

	Gooods receipt value	Invoice value
Line item 10	11450	8000
Line item 20	3816	3000
