In Logistics Invoice Verification, incoming invoices are verified in terms of their content, prices and arithmetic. When the invoice is posted, the invoice data is saved in the system. The system updates the data saved in the invoice documents in Materials Management and Financial Accounting. An invoice can be processed in Logistics Invoice Verification in background modus:

• Invoice Verification in the background You receive an invoice, only enter the total amount of the invoice and match the invoice up with another system document. The system then checks the invoice in the background. If no errors occur, the system also posts the invoice in the background. If errors do occur, the system saves the invoice and you then have to process it in a separate step. You can post invoices with reference to purchase orders or to goods receipts. You can post invoices without reference to a purchase order, too.

• Invoices received via EDI or XML You can process invoices also via EDI or XML, i.e. the invoice information enters the SAP R/3 System via electronic data interchange and the system tries to post the invoice automatically.
