How does MR11/MR11SHOW update PO history

Updated Aug 17, 2018

Hello SAP Experts,

I am using t-code MR11 (Maintain GR/IR clearing account) in order to clear the GR and IR quantity difference or MR11SHOW (Display/Cancel Account Maintenance Document) for reversing the GR/IR clearing document. I noticed that in PO history (ME23N), only the quantity is updated. The amount in local currency is not updated in PO history.

Re-generating the Issue

  • First, create a purchase order with quantity 3 PC in t-code ME21N.
  • Then post a goods receipt document with quantity 2 PC in t-code MIGO.
  • Now post an invoice document with quantity 1 PC in t-code MIRO.
  • Then post the GR/IR clearing value (System will propose 1 PC) in transaction code MR11.
  • Now when  PO history in t-code ME23N displayed PO history in transaction code ME23N. You will notice that system only updated quantity, but the amount in local currency is not updated.

SOLUTION

T-code code MR11 only deals with quantity difference between goods receipt document and invoice verification document. Therefore only quantity can update PO history.

In t-code ME23N, once the user switches on PO history tab, the system will list the history data as "Basic List" as default. In this list, the user would only see goods receipt and invoice receipt documents' corresponding value. (e.g amount in local currency, currency, quantity, etc). Now, if the change the list from "Basic List" to "GR/IR Assgt" or "Clearing value", the user will be able to see the account maintenance GR/IR clearing value in local currency.
