Industry and Customer-Specific Check

You can use the Invoicing Document Plausibility Checks function to check invoicing documents after the invoicing unit has been processed and before the invoicing data is updated. These checks are industry-specific and customer-specific. If the system determines that an invoicing document is not plausible, it creates a clarification case with clarification case category 03.

Check Module

The check itself takes place in a customer-specific check module, which is assigned to the check key. You can also enter currency-dependent amount or quantity limits for the check key for different units, which are valid for a given period.

You can use these limit values (a maximum of three) when implementing the customer module. Their meaning (for example, net or gross amounts) is only defined for the check module.

Function module FKK_SAMPLE_TFK2671 from function group FKKINV_EVENT is available as a sample module and copying template. For a description of the function and interface, see the function module documentation.

Control Document

The system terminates processing of the invoicing unit. However, you can save the checked invoicing document as a control document. It documents the invoicing situation that led to the clarification case, particularly the composition of the invoicing unit.

The checked invoicing document is marked as a control document for the clarification case in the invoicing document header. This is a simulation document, since no postings are made in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable.

You define the rules for checking the invoicing document under the key Check Invoicing Document.

Multiple Check

You can run multiple checks for invoicing documents. You can specify the sequence in which the checks are to be run when you assign them.

Termination of Invoicing Unit and Contract Account Processing

The plausibility check controls whether only the processing of the invoicing unit is cancelled when a document does not pass the check, or if the processing of the contract account is canceled in addition.

The check also controls the update of the control document.
