QM invoice block

[Former Member]

Hi,

By creating a QM control key based on the 0007 or by using the 0007, it should be possible to have an invoice block due to Quality reasons.

We have an open inspection lot, a quality block is visible in MRBR, but invoice can still be paid.

1) Where should a warning come up regarding the invoice block due to quality? Should this already be in MIR7/4 or MIRO?

2) What should the beheviour be? In case the financial block is released, should the logistic block still block the payment of the invoice?

Can anyone describe the process regarding this quality block?

Thanks.

Is your process involved - GR based IV or non GR based IV?

It is possible to block the payment until the goods are released from QI.

To do this you have to use quality in procurement.

First you need to define a control key. It is in IMG under:

Quality Management > QM in Logistics > QM in Procurement > Define Control Keys.

eg.: ZQ001 - Block invoice. Flag the block invoice indicator on the detail screen.

Now go into your material master > QM view. Assign your control key and set the QM in procurement active.

Each NEW purchase order will then be created with this QM in procurement control key. If a quality inspection fails (usage decision is negative) it is still possible to post the invoice, but on the payment list the PO is blocked.
