[sap-log-mm] Workarounds for flawed GR/IR process for scheduling agreements?

As you may know, one of the shortcomings of scheduling agreements is with the GR/IR verification. When I'm in MIRO processing an invoice, all I have to work with is the open GR quantity. If the SA is for one year or even 5 years, there are numerous releases to the vendor. There is no easy way to determine that a certain invoice matches up against the goods receipts associated with a certain release. Even if the vendor were to include the release number on the invoice, and you were to look up the details behind the release in SAP, there is no certainty what open GR quantity is associated with which release.

With a regular PO, the problem (and thus risk) is much more limited due to invoicing against that specific PO number, which has a much smaller GR delivery date/schedule.

I am curious to find out what solutions, either systems-automated or manual, have been put in place to triage this issue.

Thanks,

Vlad
