A/R invoice upload

[former_member94298]

Quick question:  SAP provides upload utilities for supplier invoices and G/L journals... does such a utility also exist for A/R invoices (and/or credit notes)?  Alternatively, does anyone know if it is on the roadmap?

Alternatively - is there an API which might allow us to deliver this?

Grateful for any pointers if anyone else has looked into this.

Cheers

Hi,

A/R invoice upload function is not available as of 1808 and atleast I have not seen on this in next couple of coming release roadmap.

There is a new API for customer invoices but only outbound - https://api.sap.com/api/CO_EDI_INVOICE_REQUEST_OUT/overview

Best,

Sandeep

after further checking, this function now appears in 1902 roadmap planning - https://go.support.sap.com/innovationdiscovery/#/innovation/40F2E9281A631ED891DEF6A13880A0DC

‎@Sandeep Kumar - is there any update on this topic?

I haven't seen any detail in the 1902 release notes.

In fact, if I now follow that link, it suggests Q3 2019. Can you share any inside knowledge re an update on this - as I know that it is something some of our clients would find really useful.

Thanks!

ccsmith this is indeed pushed to Q3 2019 now, I shall check and revert.

We have the same issue and actually continue to use the Data Migration Cockpit. There are risks with allowing continued access, and this is certainly a workaround, but it does solve our problem. You'll have to assess it's feasibility for yourself.

Our business scenario is we have about 500 AR invoices processed by an outside billing system monthly, and that system provides a report detailing the GL breakdown of the impact of the invoices.

1. Create aggregate journal that is Dr. A/R Dummy Migration Account, Cr. Various Revenue Accounts. It's a 9 line journal because there are 8 different revenue accounts we hit, and the debit is the total of all invoices.

2. Fill out the current AR invoice open item migration template with all 500 invoices and the appropriate document dates and other info.

3. Be sure that you use the same A/R Dummy Migration Account as you used in the journal entry.

4. Migrate the template via the migration cockpit

5. Check that the two entries offset to zero in the clearing account

Thanks!

That's just what I was thinking too - though the risk of posting an unbalanced document (as effectively you are posting 2 separate docs) frightens me a bit - but it could be a workround...

...will see what the business think...
