Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to the Supplier Invoicing work center.
- Go to the Invoices and Credit Memos view.
- Select the relevant Supplier Invoice.
- Select Edit and navigate to Exceptions tab.
Cause
For item type - Subsequent Debit, Subsequent Credit, Additional Cost Credit, Additional Cost Debit items, the Discount, Surcharges and Reductions do not apply. The discounts must be applied in the original invoice document itself. From the business point of view, the discounts, surcharges, reductions are mainly applied for a particular product or an item in negotiation with the supplier by the Purchaser. Here the additional cost items or the Subsequent items (namely Credit/Debit) are being borne by the supplier and hence the discounts are not applicable.
Resolution
This is an expected behavior and kindly remove the Discounts/Surcharges from the Invoice document.
- Go to the Supplier Invoicing work center.
- Go to the Invoices and Credit Memos view.
- Select the relevant Supplier Invoice.
- Select Edit and navigate to Deductions and Surcharges tab.
- Remove the Overall Deductions and Surcharges.
- Save the Supplier Invoice.
