In Logistics Invoice Verification, invoice items are blocked due to price variances. Financial Accounting cannot pay these invoices.

If a price block is defined for invoice items, the system can inform the buyer responsible for the purchase order automatically via workflow. This means that he or she sees a work item in his or her inbox, which he or she can use to verify the blocked invoice items and then process them as follows:

• Change the purchase orders
• Release the invoice items by deleting the blocking reason
• Flag the invoice items as cannot be clarified

The workflow ends when the price blocks in the invoice items are no longer valid because the order prices have been changed, or when the invoice item is released because the blocking reasons have been deleted.

If you flag price blocks in the invoice items as cannot be clarified, the system creates a work item for the accounts payable clerk. The accounts payable clerk then explicitly ends the workflow.
