Combination of GR/IR control not allowed for external services

Former Member

Hi,

I need to uncheck the field GR-Based IV (EKPO-WEBRE) in the SERVICE PO but I receive the message :

"Combination of GR/IR control not allowed for external services"

I want to allow the user to receive Invoices (MIRO) before the Service Entry (ML81N).

Thanks.

HI,

This is a "hard coded" option and cannot be removed.

If you want to be able to post invoices for services before the GR (acceptance) then you could consider using "normal" POs for these (without item category "D") abd use material masters (DIEN material type) or describe the service in text.

External services POs are only really suited to complex services or services that need a two step GR process (Service entry and acceptance).

Far too many organisations use the service entry sheet option when "normal POs" would be far better.

Stephen,

I found this info:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/64/24bd376d020141e10000009b38f842/frameset.htm

But I can not update field T165-IR_BEFORE_GR in customizing.

Any idea?

Hi,

The text also states that "To be able to use this function, you must activate the Enterprise Extension Public Sector".

So unless you have the public sector industry solution, you will NOT be able to post the Invoice Before the GR.

As I have said already, why can't you use "normal" POs and service materials instead of using item category D? You could then post the invoice before GR and all you will lose is the two-step "receipt" process.
