Goods-Receipt-Based Invoice Verification

Use

In goods-receipt-based (GR-based) invoice verification, the invoice relates not to the purchase order, but to individual deliveries. That is to say, the reference document for the invoice is not the PO but the delivery note or the goods receipt document.

Whether you use this approach depends on your billing arrangement with the vendor. This method can be advantageous, for example, when you know the order will be fulfilled by means of many partial deliveries.

Prerequisites

Before you can use GR-based invoice verification, the following prerequisites must be satisfied:

• The indicator for GR-based invoice verification (GR-based IV) must be selected for the relevant item in the purchase order (item detail screen).
• A goods receipt
must occur before the invoice is entered in the system.

Activities

The invoice may be entered with reference to a delivery note or a goods receipt document.

You can display information on the assignment of a goods receipt to an invoice at any time. You will find this information in the PO history for the item.
