Direct Posting

Use

In Logistics Invoice Verification , you can also post invoices that do not refer to a purchase order or a delivery. A typical example of this is a bill for expenses.

As in the case of an invoice with a reference, you first need to enter the header data and the vendor information.

In contrast to invoices with a reference, the system does not display any proposed values for the invoice items, since it cannot determine any purchase order items and posted goods receipts for this invoice. As a result, the system does not know which accounts are affected by the offsetting entry for the vendor line item. Therefore, you must specify which accounts the amounts are to be posted to. The SAP System provides the following options:

  • Posting to a G/L account

  • Posting to a material account

You can also combine these options by generating the relevant posting lines one after the other, or by generating lines with reference to a purchase order.

Note Note

When you enter an invoice without a reference, you may find that a vendor has not been created in the system. You can post this invoice to a one-time account. For more information, see Invoices from One-Time Vendors .

End of the note.
