  Key Concepts: 
  Invoice exceptions are discrepancies between the invoice and the purchase order that prevent the invoice from being processed. These discrepancies can be related to the quantity, price, or other details of the goods or services that were ordered. Invoice exceptions must be resolved before the invoice can be processed. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP SRM-Supplier Invoicing, invoice exceptions are identified by the system and displayed in the Invoice Monitor. The user can then review the exceptions and take appropriate action to resolve them. This may involve contacting the supplier to clarify the discrepancy or making changes to the purchase order. Once all exceptions have been resolved, the invoice can be processed. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to review and resolve invoice exceptions as soon as possible in order to avoid delays in payment. It is also important to ensure that all changes made to purchase orders are properly documented in order to maintain an accurate record of all transactions.
