Hello Satish,
You said "blocking the invoice for payment automatically until the GR is done, is standard SAP behaviour". Can you explain how we can configure the system to achieve this.

FYI: we have 2 Pur.Org, for one we use GR-Based IV and for the other we use PO-based IV. for GR-Based IV it is fine, we cannot enter the invoice until there is GR. But for PO based IV, we need to block the payment until GR is done.

In such case, blocking the invoice for payment automatically until the GR is done, is standard SAP behaviour. You need to unblock such invoices after GR, using transaction MRBR.

The best practice is not to give authorization for MRBR to any user (so as to to prevent manual unblocking), and to set a batch job for MRBR for automatic unblocking.

Note however, that system only prevents a blocked invoice from coming up in a payment run. It does not block an invoice from being manually paid by Accounts Payable.

Regards.

Satish.
