Purpose of MR11

April 24th, 2009

What is purpose of using transaction code MR11?

Using MR11, you can clear the discrepancies between GR and or IR relating to particular purchase orders. When you clear it, additional postings will be generated by the system in order to clear GRIR account.

For Example,

you have a goods receipt for a quantity of 110. Thereafter you got the invoice receipt for a quantity of 100 only. If you go to MR11, it will show the difference of quantity of 10.

However, you have the information that you will not receive the remaining quantity of 10. Thus you need to cancel the goods receipt of quantity of 10 through using transaction: MR11.
