2532815 - Distribute Cost Among Invoices and Credit Memo Items

You cannot distribute the cost of item X, classified as an Additional Cost Debit Item, in supplier invoice XYZ to a purchase order ID (XYZ refers to supplier invoice ID).

SAP Business ByDesign

1. Go to the Supplier Invoicing Work Center.
2. Navigate to the Invoices and Credit Memos View.
3. Search for the supplier invoice XYZ.
4. Navigate to the Items tab (Item type must be Additional Cost Debit Item).
5. Select the Cost Distribution sub-tab.
6. Click on the hyperlink Distribute among other invoices or credit memos.
7. Enter the purchase order ID under Order ID field.
8. Click On Distribute button, but the distribution does not happen.

You cannot distribute costs using the purchase order because it has not been invoiced. Distribution is only possible for documents that are completed or partilally invoiced. When using the Value Selection option in the Order ID field without filters, only fully or partially invoiced purchase orders will be displayed. Purchase orders that are not invoiced or are in Exception status will not be available for distribution. The system does allow for the redistribution of invoiced quantities from one purchase order item to multiple deliveries.

The purchase order must be invoiced completely or partially for Cost Distribution, which is standard system behavior.

The current release of SAP Business ByDesign does not support creating an additional cost debit item before invoicing.
