SAP GR/IR performs a three-way match between:

Purchase Order (PO)
Goods Receipt (GR)
Invoice Receipt (IR)

You use the GRIR clearing account to record the offset of the GR and IR. When fully processed, the postings are displayed in the clearing account balance. Clearing is performed at the PO line item level based on the quantity entered. You write off small differences with Transaction MR11 or via menu path:

This configuration is a multi-step process, but it's fairly simple when all the pieces are configured correctly.
