Concept of Evaluated Receipt Settlement (ERS) in SAP R/3 4.7 Version
Evaluated Receipt Settlement (ERS)
ERS allows settlement of goods receipt without receiving actual invoice from vendors. Thus through this
functionality system can generate the corresponding invoices and post them and hence a vendor invoice is
no longer required. Basically based on price maintained in purchase order and quantity captured during
goods receipt system determines the invoice amount.
Process Flow
The goods receipt transaction also creates an entry in the ERS (EKRS) table. The ERS program
(RMMR01RS) reads this ERS table and automatically generates the respective invoice documents. The
system will automatically set the ERS flag in the purchase order line items if the vendor is subject to ERS
and the purchasing info record has not been flagged to disallow ERS.The ERS indicator can be removed for
any particular line item in the PO.The ERS program allows you to determine which transactions to process
and requires you to determine the document selection and processing mode.
Prerequisites:
Flagging the vendor in the vendor master record as being subject to ERS : In purchasing view of
vendor master there is check box of AutoevalGRsetm Del and AutoevalGRsetm Ret.
If you will select these two check box in Vendor master, the vendor become a ERS vendor and if you
will not select these check box, the vendor will be Non ERS.

Flagging a purchasing information record as being non-ERS (this can be done only if the vendor is
subject to ERS)


Following are the invoice criteria based on which a invoice under ERS can be generated :
o Per vendor
o Per purchase order
o Per order item
o Per goods receipt document (only if goods-receipt-based invoice verification has been
defined)
