• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WY146 - GR-based IV reqd for auto. GR settlment suppliers/returns or revaluation ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message WY146: "GR-based IV reqd for auto. GR settlement suppliers/returns or revaluation":
  
  Error Message:
  WY146 - GR-based IV reqd for auto. GR settlement suppliers/returns or revaluation
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you are trying to perform an automatic Goods Receipt (GR) settlement for a supplier, returns, or revaluation scenario, but the system requires a GR-based Invoice Verification (IV) to be done first. In other words, the system expects that the invoice verification is based on the goods receipt document, but this is missing or not properly maintained.
  This typically happens in scenarios where:
  
  The vendor is set up for GR-based invoice verification in the purchasing info record or vendor master.
  You are trying to settle GR automatically (e.g., in returns or revaluation processes).
  The system cannot find a corresponding GR-based invoice verification document to proceed with the automatic settlement.
  
  
  Explanation:
  
  GR-based Invoice Verification means that the invoice verification is linked to the goods receipt document.
  For automatic GR settlement processes (like returns or revaluation), SAP expects that the invoice verification is done based on the GR document.
  If the invoice verification is missing or not GR-based, the system throws this error to prevent inconsistent postings.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Vendor and Purchasing Info Record Settings:
  
  Verify if the vendor is set up for GR-based invoice verification.
  Check the purchasing info record for the material/vendor combination to confirm if GR-based IV is required.
  
  
  
  Perform Invoice Verification Based on GR:
  
  Ensure that the invoice verification is done referencing the goods receipt document.
  Use transaction MIRO and select the GR-based invoice verification option.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Process if Needed:
  
  If the process requires invoice verification without reference to GR, adjust the vendor or purchasing info record settings accordingly.
  Alternatively, perform manual invoice verification before attempting automatic GR settlement.
  
  
  
  Check Automatic Settlement Configuration:
  
  Review the settlement rules and ensure they are compatible with GR-based IV.
  Check if the automatic settlement program or transaction is correctly configured to handle GR-based IV.
  
  
  
  Re-run the Process:
  
  After ensuring the invoice verification is done correctly, re-run the automatic GR settlement.
