Releasing Invoices Automatically 

Prerequisites

It is only possible to automatically release invoices if their blocking reasons are no longer valid. This can be the case for invoices blocked due to quantity, price, or schedule variance or due to quality inspection.

For more information, see Validity of a Block

These types of invoices do not usually require further processing and can be released automatically.

Procedure

  1. From the Logistics Invoice Verification screen, choose Further processing ® Release invoices. The initial screen for releasing invoices appears.
  2. Fill out the initial screen. Select the Release automatically field in the Processing section. The system then ignores your entries in the Blocking reasons section.
  3. Choose Continue. The system releases the invoices that meet your selection criteria and for which the blocking reason is no longer valid. If you specified on the initial screen that the baseline date for payment should be changed, a window appears for you to enter the new date. When you choose Continue again, the invoices are released. The system displays a list of the released invoices and issues a message.

Result

nn invoice(s) released.

You can have the system automatically release invoices in the background. You use program RMMR0200 for this. Let your system administrator know which variants should be created for the program and which jobs have to be defined.
