In purchase-order-based invoice verification within SAP S/4HANA, the system's behavior is designed to simplify the process by referencing the cumulative history of a purchase order item. When an invoice is entered, the system aggregates all goods receipts associated with a single PO item into one line on the invoice document, rather than listing each partial delivery separately. For the quantity proposal, the system calculates the outstanding quantity to be invoiced. This is determined by taking the total quantity delivered to date and subtracting the total quantity that has already been invoiced for that specific PO item.

A: This statement describes the behavior of Goods-Receipt-Based (GR-Based) Invoice Verification, where each goods receipt is treated as a distinct item to be invoiced, not PO-based verification.

D: This is incorrect as it fails to account for quantities that have already been invoiced. Proposing the total delivered quantity could lead to duplicate payments for the same goods.

1. SAP Help Portal - S/4HANA - Invoice Verification Based on Purchase Orders: "When you post an invoice with reference to a purchase order

the system proposes the items from the purchase order. The quantity and value are defaulted from the difference between the goods receipts and the invoices posted so far. All goods receipts for a purchase order item are totaled and posted as one item in the invoice." This directly supports options B and C.

2. SAP Help Portal - S/4HANA - GR-Based Invoice Verification: This document clarifies the alternative process

stating

"If you are expecting several deliveries for a purchase order

it makes sense to have GR-based Invoice Verification. This means that each goods receipt is settled in a separate invoice item." This confirms why option A is incorrect for PO-based verification.
