Invoice Verification (SAP Library - Materials Management)

Invoice Verification

Purpose

If you use the logistics invoice verification to check incoming invoices for their functional, price, and mathematical correctness, you can carry out this verification in the AFS system at item and SKU level. When the invoice is posted, the system updates the data of the invoice documents in materials management and accounting.

Integration

The Logistics Invoice Verification is closely related to the SAP components Financial Accounting (FI) and Controlling (CO). It transfers the appropriate information on payment or evaluation of invoices to these components.

Features

In Logistics Invoice Verification, various processes are available for processing incoming invoices.

Invoice Verification in the Dialog
You receive an invoice, enter the data in the system and compare the data the system proposes (such as quantity and value) with the invoice data. You then make any necessary corrections and post the invoice.

Invoice Verification in the Background
You receive an invoice, and enter only the total amount and the assignment of the invoice. The system then checks the invoice in the background.
Please refer to the SAP Standard Documentation.

Automatic Settlement
Please refer to the SAP standard documentation on Evaluated Receipt Settlement (ERS).

Invoices Received via EDI
The invoice information is transferred via electronic data interchange to the SAP system.
Please refer to the SAP Standard Documentation.

Caution

As long as you work with the conventional invoice verification, you must enter invoices in the AFS system at SKU level. Posting invoices at item level is not possible in the conventional invoice verification.
