As per sap note 756049 :-You want to post an invoice document entered per EDI with the aid of Transaction 'Invoice overview' (MIR6). This document contains purchase order items which have been entered in other company codes.For the document, the system has issued error message M8 393 'Cross-company code transaction in PO item &1 &2, company code &3' in the message log. You can post the document nevertheless.

This is SAP Note 756049.

my sap is component SAP ECC 6.0 Release 701.

my problem is that system is posting invoice as per SAP note but we cannot apply this note as per our basis team we are in advance version.

Hello,

The note 756049 (MIR6: Error message M8 393) is only valid till the SAP_APPL 500. If you are above this level, then the corrections from this note should be available in your system.

With regard to the error message M8 393, this message can be set as Warning, Error or Information. Please check if in the transaction OMRM (Define Attributes of System Messages in MM-IV) status for messge M8 393 is set to E(rror). If so, this prevents cross-company postings in MIRO.

I hope this is useful for you.

Thanks and regards,

I have already checked out whatever you told inspite of the fact that the message is with red color system lets user to post invoice into company code other than the Company code used up in PO

Hi Sanjeev,

I am facing the same error message. What are the implications if invoice is posted in different company code? Does user need to do further adjustments in FI to correct postings?

Hi Again,

I missed to inform one thing. There are 17 items in my PO and first 6 items are not getting this error message but rest of the items are. Can someone explain only few items of a PO are impacted with this error?

Hi,

    It is a very old issue,Just want to know that whether PO is created for Co code XXXX and MIR6 is done in Co code YYYY for the same PO. Then it is totally wrong, invoicing should have been done in Co code XXXX.

You should take help of your ABAPER to generate a Z message " Please Switch to correct Company code"during MIR7 which informs the user that he should first switch his company code to correct company code before he enters PO or service entry sheet of other company code.

Abaper's program would check company code being used with Plant/Co code being brought up by document on whose reference we are going to park our invoice for MIR6 purpose.

Does user need to do further adjustments in FI to correct postings?   Yes.

How can you make PO in one company code and Post invoice for that in other company code.

All these invoice should be reversed and re-posted

Hi Sanjeev,

Thanks for quick response. Yes company code in PO & one selected in MIRO is same. I am not getting this error message when I post MIRO for other POs of same company code. Do you advise to go ahead & post invoice despite error? I read another thread where it is suggested to post despite error but I am not sure if there is any other way of resolving the error.
