Wissenstest
Open the knowledge check in a separate window. A certificate is available after 80% or higher.
Prozess?berblick und Gesch?ftskontext
Procure-to-Pay verbindet operativen Einkauf, Wareneingang, Rechnungsprüfung und Zahlung. In S/4HANA muss das Team die gesamte Kette verstehen, weil schwache Bestellungen, späte Eingänge oder gesperrte Rechnungen schnell Finance und Lieferantenservice belasten.

Schritt-f?r-Schritt-Anleitung
Convert or create the purchase order
Confirm supplier, price, tax code, purchasing organization, delivery tolerances, and approval status.
Achten Sie auf: Avoid teaching ME21N as typing practice; explain why each field controls downstream receipt and invoice behavior.
Post goods receipt
Receive against the PO and check stock, valuation, and GR/IR postings.
Achten Sie auf: A late or missing goods receipt is one of the most common causes of blocked invoices.
Verify supplier invoice
Run the three-way match between PO, receipt, and invoice, then analyze any block.
Achten Sie auf: Price, quantity, and tax differences should be classified before they are released.
Pay and clear supplier item
Execute payment proposal, review exceptions, post payment, and confirm clearing.
Achten Sie auf: Payment terms and baseline date are master-data topics, not only finance topics.
H?ufige Fehler und Fehlerbehebung
Invoice blocked for quantity variance
Wahrscheinliche Ursache: Supplier invoiced more than received or receipt was not posted.
L?sungsweg: Check MIGO/MATDOC receipt and tolerance settings before releasing the block.
Wrong account assignment
Wahrscheinliche Ursache: Cost center, asset, WBS, or GL account was missing or incorrect on PR/PO.
L?sungsweg: Correct the purchasing document if possible; otherwise document the finance correction path.
GR/IR balance remains open
Wahrscheinliche Ursache: Receipt and invoice quantities or values do not reconcile.
L?sungsweg: Analyze PO history, invoice documents, and clearing logic before month-end close.
