Invoiced Purchase Orders versus Manual Supplier Invoice

Hi everybody,

starting with Procurement > Order > Analysis > Invoiced Purchase Orders we can hop via RMB (Supplier Invoice Entry) to Financials > Supplier Invoice > Manual Supplier Invoice
 

We checked the underlying structures and found:
a) VIEW PURCHASE_ORDER_INVOICE with Table PURCHASE_ORDER_INVOCE_TAB (POI)
b) VIEW MAN_SUP_INVOICE with underlying INVOICE_TAB (I)
     VIEW MAN_SUP_INVOICE_ITEM with underlying INVOICE_ITEM_TAB (II)
(filtered by rowtype like ‘%ManSuppInvoice’)

 

Now we are woundering what the “way of data” is:
Is IFS starting with I + II and “shiping” data to POI?

When comparing with Sales we found InstantInvoices and Manual Customer Invoices as well.
 

Diving into this structure we found OUTGOING_INVOICE_QRY, than OUT_INVOICE_UTIL_INV_HEAD_PUB and below the INVOICE_TAB again.

So is the PURCHASE_ORDER_INVOCE_TAB just “luxus”?
Or is there a deeper meaning we are not aware of?

Will we find every SupplierInvoice in I and II and (!) POI?

Thank you for every bit of info!

Michael

Hi Michael,

The way the analysis windows are designed in Procurement and Sales areas are different, as you already have seen.

Then, the Invoiced Purchase Orders shows the link between purchase orders and matched supplier invoices. Remember that supplier invoice doesn’t necessarily has to be connected to a purchase order, so then, Invoiced Purchase Orders won’t show the suppliers invoices that have not been matched against purchase order receipts.

Regards,

Pilar
