Evaluated Receipts Settlement
Evaluated Receipts Settlement (ERS) lets you generate confirmed supplier invoices and corresponding receiver matching records based on completed purchase order or fiscal receipts. The system automatically records liabilities to the supplier based on quantities received at the unit price negotiated with the supplier in a purchase agreement.
You can use the ERS Processor program to generate supplier invoices and receiver matching for purchase orders, scheduled orders, blanket orders, and pending invoices generated due to supplier consignment inventory consumption. If fiscal receiving is selected in Purchasing Control (5.24), you can create supplier invoices and receiver matching for fiscal receipts.
ERS can process receipts across multiple entities and sites within a domain, where the entity that recorded the purchase order and incurred the AP liability is different from the receiving entity. In this case, ERS automatically creates cross-company postings.
