Manual Invoice Verification 

Use

During manual invoice verification, you check and post the invoice that you have received from the service agent manually.

Procedure

  1. Select Logistics ® Materials Management ® Logistics Invoice Verification ® Document Entry ® Enter Invoice.

The Enter Invoice screen appears.

  1. Enter the necessary header data for the invoice.
  2. Select the transportation service agent as the reference in the list field in the lower section of the screen.
  3. In the following field, enter the vendor’s name.
  4. Choose More allocation criteria.
  5. You can use the screen that appears to limit the shipment cost items further by entering the following, for example:
  1. Enter the selection criteria for the shipment cost items to which the invoice refers.

At this point, you can also run a check by selecting Check. The system presents the results of this check in a log. This log contains the following information:

  1. Choose Adopt.

You receive a list of all shipment cost items with the corresponding amounts.

  1. Check the invoice values of the invoice that you have received from the service agent and select all the shipment cost items that the invoice refers to.
