The value of the goods delivered plus tax (in Europe, VAT) is normally entered on the invoice sent to you by the vendor. In this process, we simulate this procedure and determine the invoice amount ourselves.

When you confirm your entries, the traffic light to the left of the Balance field changes to green.
In this example, we assume that the invoiced amount equals the calculated amount.
The system confirms the posting and assigns an invoice document number. Make a note of this number.
The invoice is initially blocked for payment. Possible reasons include variances (settlement date too early, for example), or sporadic "control blocks". From a logistics perspective, the procurement process has been successfully completed. You can now display and change the blocking reasons.
