  Key Concepts: 
  Goods-receipt-based invoice verification is a component of SAP's Materials Management (MM) module. It is used to verify the accuracy of invoices received from vendors. The process involves comparing the goods received with the invoice to ensure that the vendor has charged the correct amount for the goods. This helps to prevent overpayment and fraud.
  
  How to use it: 
  The process begins with the vendor sending an invoice to the company. The company then receives the goods and compares them to the invoice. If there are discrepancies, they can be reported to the vendor and corrected before payment is made. Once all discrepancies have been resolved, the invoice can be approved for payment.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to ensure that all invoices are checked thoroughly before payment is made. This will help to prevent overpayment and fraud. Additionally, it is important to keep accurate records of all invoices and goods received in order to ensure that all discrepancies are identified and resolved quickly.
