Invoice Creation with Purchase Order or Replenishment Order Reference

If the Invoice Creation Type field has this value, you can only create an invoice for this reference document item by using the purchase order or replenishment order as the reference document.

In the standard setting, this is the default value for a purchase order or replenishment order that has been created without the Goods Receipt-Based Invoice Verification indicator set. This setting is controlled by the PO_INVOICE_CREATION validation check for purchase orders, and by the RO_INVOICE_CREATION validation check for replenishment orders.

SAP Supply Network Collaboration (SAP SNC) also sets this value if a purchase order item or replenishment order item has already been partially invoiced using the purchase order or replenishment order as the reference document.

Invoice Creation with ASN Reference

If the Invoice Creation Type field has this value, you can only create an invoice for this reference document item by using an advanced shipping notification (ASN) as the reference document.

In the standard setting, this is the default value for a purchase order or replenishment order that has been created with the Goods-Receipt-Based Invoice Verification indicator set. This setting is controlled by the PO_INVOICE_CREATION validation check for purchase orders, and by the RO_INVOICE_CREATION validation check for replenishment orders.

SAP SNC also sets this value if a purchase order or replenishment order item has already been partially invoiced using the ASN as the reference document.

Invoice Creation Similar to Predecessor Invoice

If the Invoice Creation Type field has this value, you can create an invoice using either the purchase order, replenishment order, or the ASN as the reference document. Any subsequent invoices created for that same item, however, must use the same reference document type. For example, if part of purchase order item 10 is invoiced using an ASN as the reference document, then any subsequent invoices for purchase order item 10 must also use ASNs as the reference document type.

It is possible to configure SAP SNC to make this the default value for purchase order items and replenishment order items, regardless of the Goods-Receipt-Based Invoice Verification indicator. To do this you must activate the PO_INVOICE_RELATED_TO_PO_OR_ASN validation check for purchase orders and the RO_INVOICE_RELATED_TO_PO_OR_ASN validation check for replenishment orders. If you set these validation checks as active, you must also make sure that the PO_INVOICE_CREATION and RO_INVOICE_CREATION validation checks are inactive.

Invoice Creation Not Allowed

If the Invoice Creation Type field has this value, you cannot create an invoice for this document. The system sets this type if the invoice follow-up code contained in the purchasing document, which was sent from the customer back-end system, does not allow invoice creation (value = 05).
