Reference field is empty in PO history tab (ME23N)\

[Former Member]

Hi All

I have created a PO but this is not GR based IV.

The PO history is updated and in the field reference against GR it shows the value I entered in the GR in field "Delivery note"

After that I created an invoice in MIRO and entered a value in fields: "Reference", "Header text", etc

The PO history shows the invoice but the field "Reference" is blank.

Can somebody tell me how to populate the field "Reference" in the PO history tab for invoices?

Awaiting an early responses

Thanks

I am not sure how you read and understand OSS notes, but I read this as is:

...in the purchase order item in the purchase order history, field EKBE-XBLNR is not filled if for the purchase order item no goods-receipt based invoice verification is provided.

I translate this for you:

if you have no GRbasedIV active then it is standard design that the reference field is not filled when you post an invoice.

So I think this is very much exact your case.

Hi,

Since you have filled the delivery note field in the GR , have u tried posting the IV with reference to Delivery Note ? Please try and let us know .

Hi ,

Thanks for your reply.But I don't need to use the same.It is not GR based IV so I may post IR first in some cases.

Hi,

If this is the case GR Based invoice verification is not needed . Normal in MIRO screen the Reference field the Invoice document number you received and you enter it as a reference for the MIRO posting and yes you can enter the MIRO with out referencing the delivery note or any when doing against a PO .

However normally in the PO history tab this field gets filled with the number you entered under IR-L . Is this heppening to this PO only or happening to all ?

Hi

No the field from MIRO is not getting updated in PO history tab unless it is a GR based IV.So what is the solution for it??

[JL23]

Have you looked into the OSS note that Dibyendu gave to you? don't you want to investigate on both answers?

Yes we checked the OSS note mentioned but that was the case for GR based IV. We are not looking for the same.

Thanks

System does not update the field in case of GR based IV not ticked. Please check the OSS note 383828 - ME23N: Reference in the purchase order history
