Posting Time Determination

Posting Time Determination

Use

If you want to post an invoice in the background, you use the Invoice Verification type to determine the posting time.

Your system administrator defines different jobs for each Invoice Verification type to start the program for verifying invoices in the background (RMBABG00).

Features

You can choose to have invoices posted at the following time points:

Time Point 1

The system administration defines a job that periodically runs the Invoice Verification in the background program, for example, every 30 minutes.

Time Point 2

The system administration defines a job that runs the Invoice Verification in the background program at a fixed time, for example, every evening at 8 o’clock.

Activities

Posting at Time Point 1

You want to post an invoice in the background that you assume to be correct.

You enter this invoice using Invoice Verification type 1, it is therefore posted when the program is next run, i.e. in this example within the next 30 minutes, if it does not contain any errors.

You want to post an invoice containing many items. So that you do not have to allocate the invoice, you post it in the background. You want to know as soon as possible if you have to process the invoice manually, so you also enter it with Invoice Verification type 1.

Posting at Time Point 2

You receive an invoice at the same time as the delivery. You assume that the goods receipt will not be posted until later on that day. You cannot enter the invoice online referencing the delivery note, as you have not yet entered the delivery. You expect the goods receipt to have been entered by that evening at the latest.

You enter this invoice using Invoice Verification type 2, it is therefore posted that evening at 8 o’clock, if it does not contain any errors.

You want to post an invoice containing many items. To avoid slowing down system performance during the day, you enter the invoice, giving it Invoice Verification type 2.
