Fw: Slightly OT: Adding PO items to MM invoice from workflow

[viveka.schwartz@implema.se]

... we were also thinking of modifying the standard pop-up in which the 
POs/items could be entered in MIR4 in order to add the page down function 
so that more than 8 items could be entered in background via the BDC.
However, my client decided to let the wf step fall over instead -  if more 
than 8 items were needed to be entered - and then letting an A/P clerk 
inserting the items instead (!).

I think requiring that SAP develops a BAPI for this would be the best way 
for all customers, especially since there is already a BAPI for the 
Creation occasion. 
We tried to force through this development by requiring a full replacement 
for the BDC possibility in the old transactions - also for invoices with 
more than 8 items. But so far we've had no luck on this.

Viveka

Hello Mike,

my client was told by OSS 1,5 years ago in 4.6C that there was no BAPI for 
changing LIV invoice - only for creating invoices -  but they could 
develop one if the customer was paying for it !

Regards
Viveka

Hi Ramki,
I was trying to keep it too simple... 4.7 / 620. MIR4 -> Edit -> Change
The process:
- Incoming invoice scanned and entered automatically using OCR.
- If OCR cannot post invoice, it's parked & WF triggered
- WF determines user and asks them which PO items this invoice is for
- Done in custom popup with list of open PO items against vendor,
- Client doesn't want MIR4 because this way is a) a simpler interface 
and b) restricts header changes.

We have found BAPIs and functionality galore for CREATING invoices, but 
not for changing them.... Adding items in this way seems not that 
unusual a requirement, are we really alone?

Thanks
Mike

down in the PO selection popup from MIR4).
