Posting Prepaid Logistics Invoices 

Use

To complete the invoicing procedure, the system must post the prepaid logistics invoice.

A prepaid invoice is not paid again after it is posted. The system prevents a multiple payment by not creating any further vendor or tax postings when it posts the invoice.   Instead, the system clears the internal clearing account for prepayment.

Activities

...

      1.      You check the invoice in the same way as for Invoice Verification in the Background or for parked invoices.

       2.      After the system posts logistics invoices that have been checked and found to be correct it:

¡        Creates FI documents

¡        Creates an offsetting entry on the internal clearing account for prepayment

¡        Updates the goods receipt/invoice receipt account.

In contrast to logistics invoice verification without prepayment, the system does not make a vendor posting or an input tax posting.

You make Customizing settings to determine if you can change tax fields once the system has created the prepayment document. If you have allowed subsequent changes to tax fields, the system cancels the relevant prepayment document and posts it again.  If you have not allowed subsequent changes to the tax fields and the system has already created the prepayment document, you can no longer correct tax fields.
