Reproducing the Issue
- Go to the Supplier Invoicing work center.

- Search for the invoice XYZ, select it and choose the Edit button.
- Edit the invoice and navigate to Exceptions tab.
- Choose the button Post.
- Under exception status you can the exception status is shows as To Be Processed not as Forwarded.
Cause
If the goods and services receipt or goods return is not available, the system raises an exception of type Missing Receipt or Return, if there are automatic rules configured, as soon as you choose the post button the exception automatically forward to the goods recipient or the person who returned the goods for clarification and the status of the exception will shows as Forwarded.
However in the Exceptions rule in Business Configuration says Automatic Forwarding to Recipient but in the supplier invoice the recipient was missing hence the auto forward functionality was not working.

- Search for the invoice XYZ, select it and choose the Edit button.
- Edit the invoice and navigate to Items tab.
