MM - invoice verification
• The main task of logistics invoice verification is to complete the procedure of
materials procurement by posting the vendor invoice & to pass on
information concerning the invoice to financial accounting & subsequent
applications.
• The invoice documents update both material management & financial
accounting.
• After the invoice verification the finance department process the vendor
payment .
• Invoice document can be processed w.r.t many documents such as
purchase order, delivery note,bill of lading,service entry sheet etc.

MM - invoice verification
• The Accounts Payable department is responsible for entering invoices received from
vendors and then paying those vendors.
• In SAP, there are three methods for entering invoices.
– One-way : These are direct invoices. This method is used for invoices such as cash
purchases, credit card invoices, petty cash and change fund reimbursements, employee
travel expenses. This is also called one-way bill matching
– Two Way : In these cases invoice is matched with reference to PO only and GR is not
referenced. This is possible if “GR-Based Invoice” check box is not selected. Import is one
case where this process is used. user has to pay to the Customs authority before actual GR
is made at plant.
– Three Way : The other method is called the Three Way Match method. It is nothing but
matches the vendor’s invoice to the purchase order and the goods receipt. In brief Quantity
is compared with Goods receipt Quantity, Price is compared with Purchase order Price.

MM - invoice verification – Standard Three way match
• Procuring items on a SAP purchase order is part of the three-way match process. In order
for a purchase order to be paid, three things must occur:
The Purchasing officer creates a purchase order in SAP. In this step there is no
accounting impact, although PO items are assigned to the appropriate general ledger
account and cost center, or asset.
The Goods Receiving Agent enters a goods receipt (GR) into SAP. In this step, the goods
receipt will match up the information that was entered on the purchase order. If this is a
partial shipment, the clerk may modify the quantity, which will leave the PO open until the
rest of the shipment is entered.
The Accounts Payable Clerk receives the invoice. Invoice Verification is the last step of
the three-way match process. Transaction code MIRO is used to enter the purchase order
number and verify that the amount of the PO that appears on the screen is the amount
being invoiced. MIRO must match what was entered at the purchase order level and
goods receipt .

The received quantity & the
balance amount will come by
default in to the invoice.
After verifying the quantity ,
price & other terms of
payment,
the total amount will be
entered in the amount field.
Then click on the ‘simulate’

Invoice verification
• Suppose invoice verification is done for 10 quantities with price Rs20/- each.
• Then the after invoice verification the accounting entries will be as follows:
• Vendor account = -200/-
• GR/IR account = + 200/-
• Note : for this same quantity when Goods receipt had been done the the
accounting entries would be like as follows:
• Material stock account = +200/-
• GR/IR account = -200/-
so after invoice verification the GR/IR account gets nullified & it generates
the vendor liability.

Invoice verification
• When you post an invoice, the system carries out the account movements
and updates the following
– The system generates a Financial Accounting document that displays the
accounts involved in the posting and the amounts posted to these
accounts.
– The system creates a purchase order statistic for each item in the
purchase order.
– The moving average price is updated in the material master record If the
invoiced price differs from the price in the purchase order for a material
with moving average price control

GR-Based Invoice Verifications:
There are two ways of doing invoice verification w.r.t a purchase order.
• GR-Based invoice verification
• With out GR-Based invoice verification

GR-Based invoice verification
• You have to flag the GR-Based invoice indicator in purchase order.
• When you are doing invoice verification , system will show each goods
receipt wise quantity & price.
• Suppose total PO quantity is 100 with price of each item is EUR 10/- . You
have done goods receipt for 20, 30 & 50 quantities separately. Then in the
invoice verification system will show as follows:
• Quantity price
• 20 200
• 30 300
• 50 500
Along with this system shows the corresponding material document no. this
gives better way of verifying the material document.
In case of non GR Based verification all quantities & price come cumulatively.

Parking the invoice
• Preliminary Posting
– You can enter an invoice (or a credit memo) without posting it and simply
"park" it.
– If you park an invoice or a credit memo the system does not make any
postings.
– A parked document can be changed as often as you like.
– When data is added or changed, the changes are noted by the system.
– When no further changes are required, you can then post the parked
document.
– Parking of invoice creates only a material document & no accounting
document
– Only after posting the invoice creates an accounting document.

Parking the invoice
• The preliminary posting function can be of great advantage if:
– You are interrupted when entering an invoice. You can park the
document and continue processing it later on. This saves you time
having to enter the data twice.
– You wish to clear up some questions before you post an invoice.
You can park the document and continue processing it later on.
– You wish to split the Invoice Verification process. One employee
can, for example, park an invoice without checking it, while another
carries out the actual checks and posts the document after making
any necessary corrections.

Blocking the invoice
• When an invoice is blocked, Financial Accounting cannot pay the invoice.
• The invoice must first be released in a separate step before it can be
processed.
• Variances in an Invoice Item
– Quantity variance (M)
– Price variance (P)
– Variance in order price quantity (G)
– Schedule variance (T)
– Quality inspection (I)

Credit memos
• The term credit memo always refers to a credit memo from the vendor.
• Posting a credit memo always leads to a debit posting to the vendor
account.
• Processing of credit memos is same as invoice verification
• You have to select “credit memo” in the header of invoice verification

Subsequent debit
• Suppose for any reason the vendor has charged you more in the invoice &
now you want to reduce the extra liability. For this you have to create a
subsequent debit. Entry.
• Suppose you have received an invoice for 10 quantity with price of each unit
is Rs 20/- . Then after invoice verification entry the accounting posting will
be as follows:
• Vendor account = -200/-
• GR/IR account = +200/-
• Now for any reason you want to deduct Rs 50/- .let it be as a penalty for
later delivery. so with subsequent debit posting the accounting entries will be
as follows
• Vendor account = +50/-
• Material stock account = -50/-
• So the net liability of the vendor reduces & it becomes Rs 150/-.
• This transaction raises changes the valuation of material & the Moving
average price decreases.

Subsequent credit.
• Suppose for any reason the material price has increased & the vendor
wants to charge additional amount. For this you have to create a
subsequent credit entry.
• Suppose you have received an invoice for 10 quantity with price of each unit
is Rs20/- . Then after invoice verification entry the accounting posting will be
as follows:
• Vendor account = -200/-
• GR/IR account = +200/-
• Now for any reason you have to pay Rs50/- .let it be increase in material
price . so with subsequent credit posting the accounting entries will be as
follows
• Vendor account = -50/
• Material stock account = +50/-
• So the net liability of the vendor reduces & it becomes Rs250/-.
• This transaction raises changes the valuation of material & the Moving
average price increases.

Types of Delivery Costs
• In the SAP System, there are two types of delivery costs:
• Planned delivery costs
– They are entered in the purchase order. Provisions are set up for
the relevant costs at goods receipt. The delivery costs posted at
goods receipt can be referenced at invoice entry.
• Unplanned delivery costs
– They are only entered when the invoice is entered. No provision is
made at goods receipt.
35. Document Name
CONFIDENTIAL
Planned delivery cost:
Planned delivery cost can
be processed along with
the material or separately.
depending on this choose
“planned delivery cost”, 0r
Goods/service + planned
delivery cost.
Then the processing is
same as invoice.

Material valuation change due to invoice posting.
• Suppose quantity ordered in a PO is 10 & the price per item is Rs20/-
.
• After goods receipt the accounting entries will be as follows:
• Material stock account = + 200/-
• GR/IR account = - 200/-
material valuation will change after this above accounting posting.
• After invoice verification the accounting entries will be as follows:
• Vendor account = -200/-
• GR/IR account = + 200/-
There wont be any change in material valuation
Suppose there is a difference in invoice price . Let it be Rs22/- per item. Then
the accounting entries will be as follows
Vendor account = - 220/-
GR/IR account = + 200/-
Material stock account = +20/-
So with this posting there will be a change in material valuation.
