IDOC posting - Missing Goods Receipt Error while doing Status 51

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I would like to seek your expert advice on the below issue. We are doing the IDOC posting for invoices but getting error with error code 51 and when I check the details for IDOC errors it gives me the error message Missing Goods Receipt.

I checked in BD87 but no gain. Could you please let me know what could be the probable reason or how could I check further.

Thanks

this message seems to be from a add-on, so you would probably need to contact your supplier to know what they are checking, or you debug.

Probably it is just clear as the message says, you have no goods receipt, and the goods receipt is mandatory before the invoice can be posted.

In SAP standard the  purchase orders this is usually controlled with the flag for GR and GR based IV.

If you want post an invoice without a receipt then you would need to remove the GR based IV flag from your PO. Or you wait until the GR is done and then you process your failed IDocs from BD87

Post GR & then re-process the IDOC, it will pass.

You can in parallel check the GR indicator in the PO.
