Changes to Aggregation in Invoice Documents 

Use

You receive an invoice from a vendor. In this invoice, the amount of several invoice items for one purchase order are listed in an aggregated form. In this case, you can aggregate the invoice document using the criterium Purchase order: The system display the invoice items for a purchase order grouped together in one line.

As of Release 4.6C, you can aggregate invoice documents in Logistics Invoice Verification and from the Invoice Overview.

In Logistics Invoice Verification, you can choose the aggregation variants from the display variants , if necessary, and thus choose a different aggregation criterium without returning to the overview of invoice documents. The aggregation variants are:

• Aggregation: Purchase Order

• Aggregation: Delivery Note

• Aggregation: Material

• Aggregation: Plant

When you have chosen one of the aggregation varianty, you can also aggregate according to other criteria. You can expand and collapse aggregated as required.

If the total of the aggregated lines does not match the subtotal on the vendor invoice, you can display and change the item list for the aggregated invoice documents. Once you have made your changes to the invoice items and hidden the item list, the system updates the values accordingly in the aggregated lines.

• Use the activity
