Hi
I don't mean to be rude but these answers really are low quality. If you don't know then don't guess...it's not a game show.
First of all the GR based IV option is used when you receive part deliveries against a PO - when processing the invoice receipt in MIRO, the system proposes all the part deliveries as opposed to the whole lot. You can also post against individual GR documents or delivery note numbers...Nothing to do with posting the invoice before the goods receipt.
Anyway, if you function in a company that receives the invoice before the goods then you have two options.
(1) leave the system in its vanilla state
When you come to post the invoice, the quantities and the values are not proposed (this is the main drawback of doing it this way) however, you can simply post the invoice and receive the goods receipt afterwards. the second drawback of this approach is that you may never receive the goods and it is too late as you have paid for them...the way around this is as follows
(2) Set up some invoice blocking rules so that although the invoice has been verified on the system it will not be paid until the goods are actually received.
The way to do this is as follows;
Set the tolerance to zero in the tolernace key "DW". (Use transaction OMR6 to do this).
Once this is done...the following happens;
(1) create purchase order
(2) MIRO the PO
(3) PO becomes blocked
(4) Run MRBR - invoice receipt not released due to GR not having been done.
(5) Do GR
(6) Run MRBR - invoice receipt released
I hope this innformation is useful.

Answer:
Is there a way to define that for certain vendors (or material groups) invoice without goods receipt will be blocked, and for other will be free for payment?
Also if the invoice is not blocked, and is payed, and after that you got the goods receipt, what happens to the payment, is there any FI documenht generated, or just the PO is closed? Does it matter at all whether you will receive the GR?

Answer:
HI,
WHAT IS MEAN FO MIRO IN PURCHASE ORDER ?
AND MRBR, HOW IT MEANS AND HOW IT WORKS?
Answer:
I agree with roos but also if you can use ERS Invoicing plan I think you can resolve it easily.
A vendor is set-up for ERS via the Purchasing view of the material master record and the vendor master record.
