Reproducing the Issue

1. Go to the Customer Invoicing work center.
2. Select the Invoice Requests view.
3. Search for the Outbound Delivery Invoice Request ABC (ABC represents the ID of the Outbound Delivery).
4. Click the Edit button.
5. The External Reference is empty.

Cause

For the Outbound Delivery Invoice Request, the External Reference which is maintained under the Sales Order document is not supported.

Resolution

This is the system behavior.
