In invoice verification, the accuracy of the facts, values and figures in the received invoices and credit memos is checked and they are then entered in the system. The following options for posting incoming invoices are available:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Order-related invoices<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Goods receipt-based invoices<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Invoices without a reference<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Releasing locked invoices<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The system checks each invoice item for deviations. Tolerance limits can be configured for each type of deviation. Differences between the purchase order, goods receipt and invoice in an item automatically cause the entire invoice to be locked for payment. Locked invoices can be released only as a whole. They have to be released using a special work step with transaction MRBR. In each case, the release is documented using a change document. The authorization must be assigned only to employees who evaluate the respective reasons for the locks and who can introduce appropriate measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can download the details about all SAP settings here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cta-redirect.hubspot.com\/cta\/redirect\/2492072\/1c223804-2774-4c09-b4fc-e8025ed9466e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/no-cache.hubspot.com\/cta\/default\/2492072\/1c223804-2774-4c09-b4fc-e8025ed9466e.png\" alt=\"Download pdf\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Part VI of the series: Automated Audit of the Configuration and Authorizations in SAP MM Today\u2019s blog post presents you with SAP&nbsp;authorizations related to invoice verification. 1.&nbsp;Is everything well organized?
