SAP Note 28292 - MR01: Zero lines on GR/IR clearing account

Symptom:

There is some confusion because of zero postings to the GR/IR clearing account.

Example:
Amount 0.00 is posted to the GR/IR clearing account when you post an invoice with reference to a pre-account assigned item without goods receipt or with a nonvaluated goods receipt.

Cause and prerequisites

For technical reasons, in Transaction MR01 these postings must be created. The purchase order history update is based on these postings.

Solution
In Transaction MR01, these zero lines cannot be avoided.

In the logistics invoice verification, Transaction MR1M, the zero lines are suppressed in the FI document.
