In goods-receipt-based (GR-based) invoice verification, the invoice relates not to the purchase order, but to individual deliveries. That is to say, the reference document for the invoice is not the PO but the delivery note or the goods receipt document.

Whether you use this approach depends on your billing arrangement with the vendor. This method can be advantageous, for example, when you know the order will be fulfilled by means of many partial deliveries.

Before you can use GR-based invoice verification, the following prerequisites must be satisfied:

The invoice may be entered with reference to a delivery note or a goods receipt document.

You can display information on the assignment of a goods receipt to an invoice at any time. You will find this information in the PO history for the item.
