Function documentationPlausibility Checks for Source Documents

 

The Source Document Plausibility Checks function supports you in creating clarification cases for the source document in Invoicing. You can use the function to determine and run plausibility checks for a source document and to create clarification cases that belong to clarification case category 01 according to the result.

Features

Industry and Customer-Specific Check

You can use the Source Document Plausibility Checks function to check the individual source documents that are grouped together in an invoicing unit. These checks are industry-specific and customer-specific. If the system determines that a source document is not plausible, it creates a clarification case with clarification case category 01.

You define the rules for checking the source document under the key Check Source Document.

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_TFK2672 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.

Multiple Check

You can run multiple checks for source 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.

Activities

The system checks all the source documents in the invoicing unit that belong to one category. If at least one source document is identified as implausible, the system cancels processing of the invoicing unit. The system creates a clarification case of category 01 for each implausible source document, using the source document category and number in the clarification case.
