The list on the screen Display Vendor Line Items: Basic List screen contains all the open items you have generated today using CATT. In a later transaction, you will be able to clear these items automatically using the payment program.

14. Select Line layout.
15. In the dialog box Line Layout: Standard Variants mark Terms of payment and select Choose.

The screen layout has now changed. In addition, you now see the terms of payment that are valid for each invoice. The payment date is the latest date by which items are to be paid if you want to be able to deduct the maximum cash discount from the invoice.

16. Double-click the first document of the following vendor to view the vendor item:

Field	Europe	North America
Vendor	1000	3000

There is no entry in the field Payment block. This means that the invoice can be paid.



If this is not the case and an "R" has been entered in the field, this means that another user has already processed the document. If so, select another document.

17. On the Display Document: Line Item 001 screen, select Environment ® Original document.

You now see an overview of the invoice in Materials Management with information on material, quantities and net value.

18. Select PO history to see the purchase order history.

The system branches down on the Order History for Purchase Order Number Item Number screen. Both a goods receipt and an invoice receipt have been posted for purchase order in Materials Management.



This transaction allows you to document which data you have generated using CATT. In reality, of course, someone in Materials Management would have entered the purchase order, the goods receipt and the invoice receipt.

19. Return to the screen Display Vendor Line Items: Basic List.
20. Double-click on one of the following vendor’s items:

Field	Europe	America
Vendor	1005	3100

As in the first example, you now have an overview of the invoice item. However, this time the field Payment block is marked with an R.

This means that the invoice is blocked for payment. The block indicator R indicates an invoice verification block in Materials Management. A block can be set here for different reasons, such as discrepancies between the purchase order quantity and the quantity of delivered goods.

21. On the screen Display Document: Line Item 001, select Environment ® Original document.

You now see an overview of the invoice in Materials Management with information on material, quantities and net value.

22. Mark a purchase order and select PO history to see the purchase order history.

In contrast to the first example, only the invoice has been posted here. The ordered goods have not yet been delivered, and so the system has blocked the invoice.

The block can either be removed automatically when the goods receipt has been posted, or the indicator can be manually removed by someone working in Financial Accounting or Materials Management.

23. Return to the SAP R/3 screen.
