In Business Partner (S/4HANA Specific)
If your system is Business Partner-based (as is default in S/4HANA):Transaction Code: BP
Navigation Path in BP:
Enter the Vendor BP number
Click on the "Supplier" role
Go to "Purchasing Data"
Locate the field “GR-Based Invoice Verification”
This is the same field, just accessible via the BP transaction rather than MK0X. In S/4HANA, MK01/MK02/MK03 still exist but redirect or interact with BP roles behind the scenes.
