Question:
Dear friends,
I once do IV with SAP GR document number and found it useful. In my new installation of SAP4.6, the configuration of LIV allows only IV with PO or manually entered GR reference no. Is it possible to configure it in the same way as 3.1?
Thanks for your attentions.
Regards, Daniel
Answer:
The function LIV is totally different than IV of version 3.1D, you should consider to give up this approach if you think 3.1D is better.
Answer:
Dear sapfans,
As a technical issue, I would like to invite some opionions on the IV approach.
Since we can have multiple GR for an issued PO, does it make sense that we do IV based on GR material document number rather than using PO which will often provide more qty/amount than the invoice we receive?
With the latter case, we will be obliged to do a calculation for each IV item where the default qty is not the one on the incoming invoice, hence a quite big workload for hundreds of invoices per month.
Thanks for your kind attention.
Answer:
There exists goods receipt based invoice verification functionality in the purchase order. Select the "GR-based IV" indicator at the line level. You can default that field by vendor. When invoicing, the system will present each goods receipt transaction done on the purchase order. The key is the purchase order number.

Answer:
Hi Tranny,
Thanks for your idea and I thought that all have agreed that SAP cannot provide this function.
Unfortunatedly your idea is what we have been using. The problem is when we do GR and enter the PO# as the key, system will provide all items with GR and it may include items from 2 or more incoming delivery, hence the IV becomes more complicated.
After all, thanks again for your information sharing.
