Here is the process steps of the ERS:

Evaluated Receipt Settlement is the procedure for settling the Goods receipts automatically. Purchaser enters into the agreement with the vendor that the purchaser system posts the invoice document automatically on the basis of the purchase order and the goods receipts.
Main advantage of this process is that this process eliminates the invoice variances and there is no requirement for the vendor invoices

ERS Settings

Common Issues


We need to have clear understanding with vendor regarding the ERS procedure before we move further.

Questions which we have after initial session with users:

1. How to pull PO number into FBL1N?
2. Can we have files posting to different ftp locations for different vendors?
3. Is there an ECC report for PO monitoring?
