Vendor Invoice blocking!!!

[Former Member]

Hi all

Is there any way I can block all the vendor invoices automatically when they are created & then give authorisation to one user to review all those invoices & release them for payment in the payment run program?

I know it sounds crazy but I think thats what my client wants....

Is there a standard way to do this?

Thanks

Hi Morgan,

block a vendor either from payment, from purchasing, or from both payment and purchasing. try blocking the vendor in xk05 or fk05

Please note this is wrong.

If you block a Vendor then you can post any invoices to it.

Probably not what you want.

You need a substition to say all documents with a t code of FB01 FB60 or MIRO with a certain doc type to have a payment block.

Then when you go to change the document you are using FB02 and it wont be called.

Hi Morgan,

The sub is the best option here, that or a user exit in create FI_DOC from MIRO.

However if you are using something like FB70 this wont work.

Why does your client want ALL invoices blocked?

Hi,

you can also block the vendor for payment in the master record. This is NOT the posting block mentioned in a post earlier which in fact is not a big help here.

Blocking the vendor master (company code level) by setting a blocking indicator will result in all items of the vendor will go to the exception list in the payment run F110. Then your responsible user can reallocate the payment(s) from the exception list in F110.

Hope that helps, points welcome

Hi all

Thanks for all your time.

I think the stochastic block & invoice block is for variances...so I dont think that will work.

As far as block entry in vendor master is concerned, I dont know if my manager would agree to that. I guess apart from that suggestion, as Mark says, substitution is my best bet.

Thanks all

You may want to review what is known as <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/47/60fa3049f011d1894c0000e829fbbd/frameset.htm">Stochastic Block</a>

Here you can set a threshold value and a probability percentage. If the threshold value is $1000 and the percentage 50%, the degree of probability that an invoice over $1000 will be blocked is 50%. May be you can try this with 100% to block all invoices, I have not tried, though!
