2662208 - Unable to Select G/L Account While Creating New Supplier Invoice Document

Symptom

To create a new supplier invoice with reference to a purchase order, you are unable to find options to select a G/L account in the cost distribution tab of the supplier invoice.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Supplier Invoicing Work Center.
  2. Go to the Invoice Entry View.
  3. Select the query All Orders to be Invoiced.
  4. Select the relevant Purchase Order and select New Invoice button.
  5. Navigate to Items tab and sub tab Cost Distribution.
  6. You don't find options to select the G/L account.

Cause

The Purchase Order is a To-Stock order, and the G/L accounts for business transactions are determined automatically. When recording a supplier invoice for a purchase order, the purchase order is entered as a reference. The account determination group stored in the material's master data specified in the purchase order is used to derive the G/L account.

The system selects the G/L accounts based on the master data, the account determination group, and the account determination profile. The account determination groups are derived from the master data in the business transaction, allowing you to group stocks for stock materials and post them to the same accounts.

In To-Stock Orders, the account assignment tab will not be present, and you cannot select any of the account assignments since the account determination happens based on the product master. When creating a new invoice, in the cost distribution tab, you will only see the references of Inbound Delivery and cannot see any other assignments.

Resolution

It is not possible to add G/L accounts in case of To-Stock scenario.
