Hi,

MB5S REPORT:

This report used for purchase orders where Goods Receipt (GR) quantities and Invoice Receipt (IR) quantities do not balance. You can view the purchasing organization, purchasing group, Vendor, Purchasing document Number, Item Number,Received quantity, Quantity invoiced {invoice quantity and amount will be zero if no invoice receipt was posted for items received}, order unit, GR value, Invoice amount, and Currency. This information can be used to determine if errors have occurred in posting goods receipts and/or invoice receipts or to determine open purchase orders where goods receipts have been posted and still awaiting the vendor invoice.

ME80FN REPORT:

This report can be used for displaying the information of purchase orders created and the transactions that has taken place where you can drill down and summarize data. You also can check this report when there is a need to view purchasing documents relating to request for quotations, purchase orders and contracts.

Regards,

Hi,

MB5S is for GR/IR Balances i.e. the report compares the GR quantities and values relating to a purchase order with the invoice quantities and values for the same PO. The report can thus be used to check goods and invoice receipts when the purchasing documents show some discrepancy.

ME80FN is for Purchase Analysis which also shows the PO history deatils.
