Blocking Invoice

Sometimes accounting department is unable to pay the invoice to vendor. This may happen when you try to post an invoice, system expect certain default value against purchase order or goods receipt and posted invoice differs from default value. This may lead to invoice blocking. Some of the reasons for invoice blocking are as follows.

Variance in amount at item level

Variance in quantity at item level

MRBR IS T.CODE FOR RELEASING INVOICES

Once you execute MRBR based on the selection of Manually or auto, it will pickup those invoices and give you the list then you have to select them and hit the release flag then only it will get released.

When you release an invoice, the system reverses the blocking indicator in the accounting document for the invoice. In the vendor line, the R in the field Payment block is deleted.

You can release invoices while processing a blocked invoice. This is useful in the following cases:

An invoice contains several blocking reasons. You have investigated the reason for the block and resolved it. The blocking reasons are no longer valid, therefore you can release the invoice.

One employee is responsible for releasing invoices in your company. Your system administrator can assign the appropriate authorization.

If you have selected the field Move cash discount date, the agreed cash discount period is retained.

Procedure

Choose Logistics Invoice Verification ® Further Processing Release Invoices.

The selection screen for releasing invoices appears.

Enter data as required. In the Processing screen area, select the field Release manually.

In the Blocking procedure screen area, select a procedure.

Blocked due to variances

Manual payment block

Stochastically blocked

If you manually set a payment block in the document header when entering the invoice and one of the invoice items contains blocking reasons, this invoice is not displayed in the blocking procedure Manual payment block, instead it is displayed in the blocking procedure Blocked due to variances.

Choose Execute.

The system issues a list of blocked invoices that meet the criteria entered.

Select the invoice document that you want to release.

The system automatically selects all other items in the invoice since you cannot release individual items.

Choose Release invoice.

Check your entries.

Choose Save changes.

The invoices selected are only released for payment when you save them.

Result

The system releases the invoice. The following message appears:

nn invoice(s) released

If you want to release invoices that have price blocks at item level and a manual block at header level, the system outputs the message:

nn invoices released, n still contain a manual block.

Reselect the invoices containing manual blocks using Manual Payment Block and Release Manually. Release the relevant invoices manually.

Hi Charlie, thanks for your replie but I need information for MRBR automatically.

If I have a PO without GR but with IR (invoice), there is a reason for blocking invoice (No GR, quantity variance for default).

If I put the invoice in transaction MRBR and select Manually I have 3 items for this invoice.

If I put the invoice in transaction MRBR and select Automatically I don´t have the invoice in the output list, because MRBR automatically releases invoices that don´t have blocking reasons in the moment that you execute transaction.

Thanks in advance

When you release invoices automatically, the system deletes all blocking reasons that no longer apply. For more information and examples, see Validity of a Block.

When all blocking reasons in an invoice are deleted, the system automatically releases the invoice.

Note that invoices for which a manual block was set in the document header in addition to the blocking reasons in individual items are not automatically released if the blocking reasons in all items no longer apply. You must release any invoices with a manual payment block in the document header separately. Select the invoices using the blocking procedure Manual Payment Block and choose Release Manually.

If you select the Move cash discount date field on the initial screen, the agreed cash discount period is retained.

Canceled invoices are not taken into account.

Prerequisites

It is only possible to automatically release invoices if their blocking reasons are no longer valid. This can be the case for invoices blocked due to quantity, price, or schedule variances, or due to quality inspection.

You can only use the function Release automatically for the blocking procedure Blocked due to variances.

Manually:

When you release invoices manually, a list of the blocked invoices that match your criteria appears. In this list, blocking reasons that no longer apply are highlighted in color. You can delete individual blocking reasons or select invoices that are to be released

Hello Charlie,

In this case if I have a PO, and this document doesn´t have GR but have an invoice. In this case there is a quantity different and the invoice is blocked.

For MRBR automatically process, we can release the invoice really?

Thanks in advance

MRBR is used to release the block invoice. This can be executed directly or in background. In the screen there is a selection in BLOCKING procedure.

You can select and execute.
