Symptom
In Intercompany scenarios, after changing the item description on the customer invoice, the updated description is not copied to the automatically created supplier invoice.
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to Customer Invoicing work center.
- Select New Invoice in Common Tasks list.
- Enter product and required information.
- Change the description of one item.
- Release the invoice.
- Open ABC (ABC represents the released Customer Invoice ID).
- Go to document flow tab.
- Open Supplier Invoice.
The changed item description in customer invoice is not taken over to supplier invoice.
Cause
The description for the items in Supplier invoice is fetched from the product master data and not the customer invoice. This is applicable all intercompany scenarios like intercompany project, intercompany purchasing or third-party intercompany.
Resolution
This is the expected system behavior.
When a free-text item is used on a customer invoice, its item description is automatically copied to the corresponding supplier invoice.
