Controlling Release of Blocked Invoices-MRBR

[Former Member]

Vendor submitted the invoices for more value than the PO and GR value.

For example GR Value =PO Value = 100 for qty=1.

Vendor Invoice = 120 for qty 1.

On performing MIRO, the invoice is blocked. Vendor is asked to submit the Credit Note.

We observed even without entering the Credit Note user is able to release the blocked invoice.

Blocking of invoices objective is completely of no use then if there is no control. users are releasing invoices with entering credit note.

If there anyway or check where blocked invoices are not released till the credit note is entered or invoices are corrected or correctly submitted by vendor.

Hi,

The users will be able to release the invoice when there is a price variance in the MRBR transaction, this is standard functionality. This cannot be changed reason being the MRBR transaction is for this purpose specifically to release invoices when there is a block.

There is a concept called Invoice Reduction in invoicing specifically designed for these purposes. The system posts the invoice and the credit memo while doing MIRO thereby generating two accounting documents. This can be adopted in the cases where vendor gives an additional invoice value and asks you to post a credit memo for the additional value.

Invoice reduction solution we proposed to the client which is not acceptable as client want to capture the Credit Note Number received from the vendor when capturing MIRO for record and audit purposes.

I searched and found one BADI MRM_RELEASE_CHECK is there. Not sure if that can suffice our requirement.

Have a look at the following note for the clarification of this BAdI:
