Checking Invoices Without Goods Receipt or Purchase Order Reference
In 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 fill out the data required in the initial screen and vendor screen. Unlike invoices with a reference, however, you do not receive a selection screen because the system does not have any order or goods receipt transaction for this invoice. So the system does not know which accounts will be affected by the offsetting entry for the vendor line item. Therefore, you must specify which accounts the amounts are to be posted to.
