• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ME613 - Only GR-based invoice verification allowed for items w. proportion unit ?

  The SAP error message ME613 ("Only GR-based invoice verification allowed for items with proportion unit") typically occurs in the context of invoice verification in the Materials Management (MM) module. This error indicates that the system is set to allow only Goods Receipt (GR)-based invoice verification for items that are measured in proportion units (e.g., weight, volume, etc.).
  Cause:
  
  Proportion Unit of Measure: The item in question is defined with a proportion unit of measure, which means that the invoice verification process must be based on the goods receipt.
  Invoice Verification Settings: The configuration settings in the system may not allow for non-GR-based invoice verification for items with proportion units.
  Purchase Order (PO) Configuration: The purchase order may be set up in a way that does not align with the requirements for GR-based invoice verification.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the ME613 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Purchase Order:
  
  Verify the purchase order line item that is causing the error. Ensure that it is set up correctly for GR-based invoice verification.
  Check the item category in the purchase order. It should be compatible with GR-based invoice verification.
  
  
  
  Goods Receipt:
  
  Ensure that a goods receipt has been posted for the item in question. The invoice cannot be processed without a corresponding goods receipt.
  
  
  
  Configuration Settings:
  
  Review the configuration settings in the SAP system for invoice verification. You may need to consult with your SAP MM configuration team to ensure that the settings allow for GR-based invoice verification for items with proportion units.
  Check the settings in the transaction code OMD0 (for invoice verification) to see if the appropriate settings are in place.
  
  
  
  Change the Unit of Measure:
  
  If applicable, consider changing the unit of measure for the item in the material master to a standard unit that does not require GR-based verification, if this aligns with your business processes.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for further insights into the error and its resolution.
