Concept of ERS in SAP MM

ERS -- Evaluated Receipt Settlement is the process of settling goods receipt automatically. The Vendor
Invoices are posted automatically(without actually receiving from the vendor) in the system based on the
information in the purchase order and goods receipt. The settlement documents are sent automatically to the
vendor in print, email or fax form.

Before implementing ERS, there must be an agreement with the vendor about ERS process and applicable
conditions.

Advantages of ERS:

Purchase Orders can be closed quickly

No price and quantity variances in Invoice Verification
No need to receive invoice from vendor
Communication errors can be avoided

The following are the pre-requisites for implementing ERS:

In the vendor master data, the indicators for evaluated receipt settlement must be activated.
A Confirmation is expected for the purchase order
GR - IR Indicators and ERS Indicators should be activated in the PO
Tax code must be maintained in the PO item
