Hi Guru,

Just putting the important part of your one line question into Google immediately retrieves this document from help.sap.com Contract Handling for Invoices - Logistics Invoice Verification (MM-IV-LIV) - SAP Library

Yes, You can reference a contract,but you need do config in LIV.. below is menu path

OLME>Incoming Invoice >Activate direct posting to contract .

anyway, in real time scenarios, generally we do post invoices for release orders .

Hello Gurus,

I know that, Goods receipt and Invoice receipt will be posted with PO reference in case of Contract and in schedule agreement , we can maintain schedule deliveries based on that we can do GRN and post Invoice.

But in EHP7 there is option to post Contract direct in invoice verification.

i just want to know are the prerequisites to post contract directly in invoice verification.

Hi Anshul,

Invoice verification for contracts is possible in SAP ECC6 EHP5 onwards, and as mentioned by Jürgen L, there are couple of settings in Invoice verification to enable this functionality. Additionally I believe there are other setups also that needs to be established to completely post and invoice.

I am trying to work on this and will keep updating on this post

Hi,

   The functionality is available with the business function LOG_MM_CI_3. You may go to SFW5 and check the release documentation, SAP test cases and then activate the business function and test the scenario. Please refer the help doc for more information.

Thanks Prasoon,

You cannot create invoice against contract. First you have to create purchase order with reference to the contract and then create invoice with reference to contract release order (PO).

Is my and Prasoon's  reply not visible to you guys?

If you follow the link it clearly says " To enable users to post invoices directly to contracts, you must activate Customizing activity Activate Direct Posting to Contracts. In SAP Customizing, choose Materials Management ® Logistics Invoice Verification ®Incoming Invoice ® Activate Direct Posting to Contracts."

So this means this function is available, or I am totally wrong?

And the link in Prasoon's reply clearly points to a docu with an explained use case.

@Juergen - Yes it's my mistake. Sincere apologies.

@ Arshul - Please ignore my comment.

Hi Anshul,

If you want to post the invoice verification against contract you need to create PO first & against the purchase order you should be able to post the Invoice Verification.

Thanks & regards,

Hi,

What you are expecting from community?

Are you planning invoice verification  for contract or invoice verification for scheduling agreement.

If you have those document - you try to post invoice document and see your expected result!
