BAPI_INCOMINGINVOICE_CREATE before GRN

[SAPSupport]

I am using BAPI BAPI_INCOMINGINVOICE_CREATE to develop a upload program for Custom (Import) invoice via MIRO transaction.

In Custom MIRO, we need to book delivery cost (including custom and excise charges) before GRN (MIGO transaction). For booking this cost we are trying to use above mentioned BAPI and getting error M8375: "Fill in mandatory field REF_DOC, REF_DOC_YEAR, REF_DOC_IT (table parameter ITEMDATA, row 000001)".

Please suggest how this error can be solved or any other work around.

Error message M8375 is returned when the system is asking for a goods receipt reference.

If you wish to post invoices before goods receipt, you need to disable GR-based IV on your PO data.

That way, you will be able to generate BAPI data (and also MIRO invoices) without having posted a goods receipt.
