Question:
When posting IR with wrong quantity SAP takes the unit price based on that quantity, recalculates the already posted GR and reverse part of that GR (debiting GR/IR account), which does not match our business requirements.
Is there a way to configure SAP to either not allow the user to enter quantity on the IR screen (MIRO), or to issue error message if quantity is much bigger than on the PO? Or to change the flow of the process to not recalculate the GR based on the new unit price?
Thanks,
Steve
Answer:
Hi Steve,
First of all, GR-based IV indicator is the best and most recommended solution for your problem since this will ensure three-way invoice matching to be made during LIV process. Besides, you can look at the proper setting of Tolerance Key via Transaction OMR6.

The help for the GR-based IR is kind of obscure and I did couple test PO's but I didn't find any difference. What exactly does? WOuld it make the system to not change the unit price based on wrong quantity in IR?

Hi Steve,
What I meant basically was that this GR-based IR indicator is, by definition, used to make sure that the system will propose the receipted quantity of item and PO unit price during LIV process. As you might be fully aware that during LIV process, SAP will default the PO price and proposed GR quantity in the Invoice Item Details. However, it is true to say that it won't prevent A/P from manually changing them. Therefore, what you should do is to make sure that the respective tolerance key (PP, DW, for instance) shall be set in Transaction OMR6. Additionally, the setting in Transaction OMRH for your company code shall also be made. Last but not least, it is also of criticality and significance that effective training and clear procedure shall be conducted and put in place so as to make sure that A/P knows what they should do.

Answer:
I have my tolerances set up, but I was wondering if it is possible to instead of blocking the documents for payment, to issue error message - not allow posting if LIV is outside the tolerances?
Also, my system defaults the amount and quantity in the LIV without GR-based IT indicator set up.
Thanks,
Steve
