Once we procure any material from vendor, along with the Material vendor will send his invoice which contains the total amount has to be paid to vendor, which we do through process called invoice posting in MIRO.

Depend upon business purpose and Transaction type we have to do 4 different types of postings in invoice those are

1. Invoice Receipt

2. Subsequent Debit

3. Subsequent Credit

4. Credit Memo

Let’s discuss in detail about these all types of invoice postings in this document

Invoice Receipt

Invoice receipt is part of account payables (AP) process where vendors are paid for material or services they are provided to customer.

Test Case –

PO of 100 Qty of 100 INR Each

GRN for 100 Qty

Invoice Received of 100 Qty 100 INR Each

It involves Following Steps –

1. Create material in MM01 Tcode

Material 920000000000014427 created

2. Create Vendor in XK01

Vendor 2310001071

3. Create Purchase order In ME21N

Standard PO created under the number 4500026426

4. Goods receipt for PO In MIGO

Material document 2100001283 posted

Accounting Entries in Goods receipt

5. Invoice receipt in MIRO

Document no. 1217 created

Accounting Entries during Invoice Receipt

Check Purchase order History in ME23N

Check stock and price updated

Subsequent Debit

A Subsequent Debit exist when an additional invoice received for a PO that already been invoiced

It’s not possible to post subsequent debit before invoice receipt, its means it’s posted after MIGO (GR) and MIRO (IR)

By posting a subsequent debit the system updates the ordering transaction on a value basis but not on quantity basis

For Example: You have already received an invoice from your vendor for all goods received. Subsequently some additional charges like freight cost are to be taken into account in such case vendor will send an additional invoice but Invoice Quantity remains same (No additional quantity will received)

Test Case

PO of 100 Qty of 100 INR Each

GRN for 100 Qty

Invoice Received of 100 Qty 100 INR Each

Additional Invoice for fright 1000 INR

Steps involved

1. Create material in MM01-> 920000000000014427

2. Create Vendor in XK01-> 2310001071

3. Create Purchase order In ME21N->4500026426

4. Goods receipt for PO In MIGO->2100001283

5. Invoice receipt in MIRO ->1217

6. Additional Invoice for 1000 INR for freight -> Subsequent Debit in MIRO

Till Step 5 we already done in invoice receipt process in this particular process we directly start from step 6.

Subsequent Debit in MIRO

Document no. 1218 created

Accounting entries During Subsequent debit in MIRO

Purchase Order History in ME23N

Note: Does Subsequent debit impacts on material price

Yes it impacts, check in MM03 Material display

Subsequent Credit

A Subsequent Credit exists when business needs to get amount by vendor for already received quantity. This scenario happens when some price of goods going to drop or some packaging is not good and business needs to spend on it. No need to return any received material.

Test Case

PO of 100 Qty of 100 INR Each

GRN for 100 Qty

Invoice Received of 100 Qty 100 INR Each

Because of poor packaging vendor will return 500 INR

Steps involved

1. Create material in MM01 -> 920000000000014427

3. Create Purchase order In ME21N->4500026426

4. Goods receipt for PO In MIGO->2100001283

5. Invoice receipt in MIRO -> 1217

6. Subsequent credit of 500 INR in MIRO

Till Step 5 we already done in invoice receipt process in this particular process we directly start from step 6.

Subsequent credit in MIRO

Note: Mvt Type 122 Vs. 161

Both of them are used for return of shipment to the vendor. However, the purpose of using is completely different. With Movement Type 122, you will have to post your GR reversal with reference to the original GR document number while 161 does not require such original GR document number but the return PO. Therefore, the 161 movement type is only used when you are not able to remember/identify the original GR document number for cancellation.
