Use

To settle services you must create a service entry sheet for the external service purchase order. The service entry sheet should contain the details of the services to render. You post service acceptances for services rendered, which you then settle.

The default values for invoice entry for quantities and prices to settle, as well as for tolerance checks, are generated in the same way as for material items. You can also enter Partial Invoices for Service Purchase Orders .

In the purchase order history, the system displays the service number, service quantity, and service value for each goods receipt and invoice receipt.

You can settle service acceptances based on goods receipts or based on services.

Prerequisites

In the vendor master record, select whether you want to settle acceptances based on goods receipts or based on services. You can change the proposed indicator when you create the service purchase order. You cannot change the indicator after a goods receipt or an invoice receipt has occurred.

If you want to settle acceptances based on services, in the purchase order you must select the Service-BasedIV (service-based invoice verification) field on the Delivery tab page, and then either select the GR-BasedIV (goods-receipt-based invoice verification) field or deselect the GR (goods receipt expected).

Features

When you enter the invoice you can allocate it to the purchase order or to the service entry sheet. You can post invoices, partial invoices, credit memos, and subsequent debits and credits for external service purchase orders. You can also cancel documents.

Service-Based Invoice Verification without Goods Receipt

The system copies the service, account assignment, and the price from the purchase order. The system copies the previously calculated quantities and values from the purchase order history.
