How do you pay for an invoice?

If you have a goods receipt to your PO and the invoice arrived at your accounting department and they enter it in SAP and it does match with purchase order and goods receipt, then it can be paid anytime according to the payment terms negotiated and entered, without any additional work to be done by the puchasing department.

Helloif you use a purchase order you could have a release strategy on the order effectively approving purchase and payment of the goods - this can be routed to nominated personnel by workflow ( organsation structure) - you can also have tolerance limits on invoices whereby if the invoice matches the po price and the goods receipt quantity then it will be paid - if not (within set tolerances) it will be automatically blocked and require authorisation for release - we issue automatic budget reports to our accountants on a weekly basis informing them of the invoices that will be paid from their budgets that week and then they need to be pro - active if they feel that the amounts are excessive or do not agree with payments etc. we do not request authorisation of invoices prior to input to system.Workflow can also be used in invoice verfication for approval of paymentshope this helps
