Symptom

Environment
SAP Business ByDesign all systems.
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to the Supplier Invoicing work center.
- Go to the Invoices and Credit Memos view.
- Search for Credit Memo ABC (ABC represents the relevant Credit Memo ID).
- Click on Edit.
- Click on View All.
- Select the Items tab.
- Select Cost Distribution subtab.
You can see that the option Distribute among other invoices or credit memos is not available.
Cause
Additional Cost Credit Items cannot be distributed directly to other invoices.
