Procure-to-Pay: How MM Hands Off to FI (GR/IR, 3-Way Match, F110) | SAP Concepts Ep 4

Episode 4 of SAP Concepts. Eight minutes on the full procure-to-pay cycle in S/4HANA — how a purchase requisition becomes a purchase order, a goods receipt, an invoice, and a payment, and exactly how MM talks to FI at every step. No transaction codes. No ABAP. Just the mental map that every procurement, AP, and finance conversation in SAP depends on. Four realistic Fiori-style screens show each stage: Manage Purchase Orders, Post Goods Receipt, Supplier Invoice verification, and the F110 Automatic Payment Run. What You'll Learn: - The five documents of procure-to-pay — PR, PO, GR, IR, Payment — and who owns each. - Why a purchase order is a promise, not a posting — and what it looks like in CO. - How goods receipt auto-posts to FI — debit inventory, credit GR/IR clearing. - The 3-way match — PO × Goods Receipt × Invoice — and what happens when a line disagrees. - The GR/IR clearing account — the temporary bridge between stock and vendor liability. - The payment run (F110) — selection, proposal, execution, and the bank file it spits out. - The end-to-end FI journal sequence for one purchase — and how GR/IR nets to zero. - Where each posting sits in the general ledger and why.

Every external purchase in SAP flows through five documents — PR, PO, GR, IR, Payment. 2. A purchase order is a commitment — CO sees it as a statistical reservation, FI stays quiet. 3. Goods receipt auto-posts to FI — inventory debit, GR/IR credit — from the movement type alone. 4. 3-way match between PO, GR, and invoice guards vendor A/P from ever holding a wrong liability. 5. GR/IR is the clearing account that lets stock postings and vendor postings happen on different days — it nets to zero when both sides agree. Next in the series: Episode 5 — Order-to-Cash. The mirror image. Sales order, delivery, billing, and cash receipt. SD hands off to FI the same way MM just did. Taught by CelesteAI.
