Symptom
Differentiate between an original and a duplicate invoice by adding a 'Duplicate' or 'Original' watermark to the billing document output.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Open the 'Manage Billing Documents' app.
- Open the billing document.
- Scroll down to Output Items.
- Select the original output item.
- Choose 'Duplicate'.
- Choose 'Send'.
- Choose 'Display Output'.
Resolution
- The standard system behavior is to only add a watermark for an original/duplicate when there is a legal requirement for the specific country. In all other cases, no watermarks are added. In some countries, for example in Germany, having such watermarks is legally not required, but a best practice.
- Refer to the existing Customer Influence request already submitted for this functionality: Watermark for Billing Document Output.
- Support the existing influence request by casting vote, so that this feature can be considered for the next upcoming release.
