Sample lesson
Experience a lesson from ERP Coach
Adapted excerpt from „Invoice With a Purchase Order Reference“.
The situation
A supplier invoice for 100 blanks arrives. A purchase order already exists for this delivery. You want to link the invoice to that purchasing document.
What do you think?
Which reference do you use in this example?
- A.The purchase order number
- B.Only the G/L account number
- C.The cost center number
Show answer and explanation
The purchase order number
For a purchase-order-based invoice, you use the purchase order as a reference. The system can then propose item data. You still check quantities, prices and differences. Logistics Invoice Verification is part of MM and integrates with FI.
This example explains a typical business concept. Specific features and workflows depend on the SAP version, edition and system settings.
The full lesson continues with proposed data and supplier invoice entry. Later lessons explain the GR/IR account and differences in invoice verification.

Connect knowledge across modules
A purchase order starts a logistics process; goods receipts and invoices can have financial effects. FI explains the accounting perspective, while CO adds cost responsibility. These interfaces make end-to-end understanding valuable.
