Prevent purchase order accrual by checking final invoice

[EliDm]

Hi all,

For some purchase orders we would like to prevent that purchase order accruals are being booked by the accrual engine. In order to do this we would select the final invoice indicator as soon as the purchase order has been made.

Are there any disadvantages from using this way of working?

Would it be better to exclude the purchase orders from the accrual engine via custom logic?

Please note we are in the S4hana public cloud professional services system.

Thanks.

Best regards

Eli

Final invoice indicator Indicates that the last invoice from a vendor has been received for an item and/or that no further invoice is expected. Final Invoice indicator needs to be selected to completely reduce the commitment from the purchase order. This is only for information purpose. There is no control on the GR and IR postings. Even though you selected this indicator manually in the PO, you can post further invoice.

Hope this helps

Thanks

Hi Hardeep,

So if I understand correctly, there is no issue in selecting the final invoice indicator to prevent accruals from being booked?

Thanks.
