Hi,

In item amount check you are specify whether invoice items should be blocked for payment if they exceed a certain amount. This consists of two functions:

Activate--This specifies the company codes in which the system should check the amount.

Set ---This specifies the order-based invoice items for which the system should check the amount in the activated company codes.

Item Amount Check

The system calculates the sum of the value invoiced so far for the

order item and the value of the current invoice and compares it with

the value limit of the purchase order. It then compares the

difference with the upper percentage and absolute tolerances

defined.

Stochastic Block

You can block all invoices to check them again through Stochastic block automatically. If the stochastic block is active and you post an invoice that is not subject to any other blocking reason, it can be selected for blocking.

Please make a note that- A stochastic block is not set at item level, but for the whole invoice. If a stochastic block is set when you post the invoice, the system automatically sets an R in the field Payment block in the document header data; there is no blocking indicator in the individual items.

In Customizing for Invoice Verification, you can define:

-If stochastic blocking is active

-The degree of probability of a block. You set a threshold value and a percentage for this.

If you enter a threshold value of zero and a percentage of 99.9%, all invoices would then be blocked automatically.
