Posting a Goods Receipt by referencing to a Purchase Order has a 3 advantages:
The goods receiving department can check whether the goods delivered are what was actually ordered.
Data from PO is copied automatically to the GR transaction.
PO history is updated upon GR creation.
When goods receipt to the warehouse is posted:
A MM doc. is created: with info such as material delivered
and quantity delivered; storage location and associated plant.
An FI doc. is created: which record the effects the material
movement has on the value of the stock.
Goods movements: A transaction that causes a stock change. Include both external and internal
movements. You can distinguish between:
Goods receipt (GR): is a goods movement in which the receipt of goods from both an external vendor
and from production is posted. A GR leads to an increase of warehouse stock.
Goods issue (GI): is a goods movement in which a material withdrawal, goods issue, material
consumption, or goods shipment is posted to a customer. A GI leads to a decrease of warehouse stock.
Stock trasfer: is removal of materials from particular storage location and placement into another
storage location. Stock transfers can take place both within the same plant and between two plants.
Transer posting: changes the stock identification or qualification of a material regardless of it’s a
physical movement or not. (EX: release of the stock for quality inspection).
Stock type
you enter goods receipt against
production and purchase orders
Effects of Goods Receipt:
MM - Material document is created (quantity)
FI - Accounting document is created (value)
CO – Cost Accounting document cost analysis purpose
Material master is updated (here not in the inv. verif)
_ Account affected:
.Stock raw (+ Consumption Raw) is debited
.Provision in the GR/IR is credited
. NON Bank, Reconc. Vendor, Subdledger Vendor
PO History for a PO items is updated (when a GR is
entered with reference to this item)
Quality Management (Inspection lot is created)
Warehouse Management (Transfer Requir. is created)
Output may be generated (GR slip)
Material Mgt, manages the procurement process until Invoice verif.
Other Dpt (account) manage the payment and evaluation of invoices.
Therefore, Inv. Verif. creates a link between Mat. Mgt and external (FI) or Internal account. (CO)
Invoice Verification and Vendor Payment
If there are variances between the PO or GR vs INVOICE, the system warns the user and blocks the invoice for payment.
Posting the invoice completes the process of Invoice Verification.
Types of Invoice Verification:
Invoice items can be posted with reference to:
Goods receipt based Invoice verification: invoices for quantities greater
than the goods receipt cannot be posted.
Purchase order based Invoice verification: you can settle all items,
irrespective of whether there have been partial deliveries.
The postings are automatically made to the corresponding G/L accounts.
When an Invoice is posted, an open item is credited on the vendor account.
Logistics: Invoice Verification: Effects
FI - Accounting document is created
PO History is updated
Open Item is created in the vendor’s account
If invoice $ differs from the PO $, the stock value and the current moving price is
recalculated and updated in the material master, for a material valuated with mov. aver. $.
_ Account affected:
.Provision in the GR/IR clearing account are reversed - debited
.Reconc. Vendor is credited
.Subledger Vendor is credited
. NON Stock raw-consum. raw, Bank
Material Management Integration:
(FI) Financial Accounting: Purchasing and FI maintains data on the VENDOR master data (is a creditor account in FI) that contains account.+ procur. info
(SD) Sales and Distribution: requirements that arrives to Sales can be passed on to Purchasing. when a P.Req. is created, it can be directly assigned to a Sales Order.
Production Planning: and MM are linked through inventory needs. Inv. Mgt is responsible for assuring all components required for production.
Plant Maintenance and MM are linked by BOM. It’s possible to post a GR with ref to an equipment BOM and to withdraw part for maintenance orders too.
Integration in Logistics: the Inv. Mgt system (manages Stock (Q) quantity + ($) value) can be extended by the WMS which manages storage (also Storage Bins)
Process of GR with Transfer Order
GR posting is subject to WMS: checks for each PO item and
generates:
MM + FI docs for goods movt.:
_MM doc.: Header + Item (q, descrip, stor.loc., plant), is
identified by material document number and year.
_FI doc.: Header + Item (G/L acc. #, $) records the effects of
material movements on the accounts. Is identified by CC (of the
plant); acc doc. #, fiscal year.
