3023958 - Watermark Duplicate/Original for Billing Document Output - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

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

  1. Open the 'Manage Billing Documents' app.
  2. Open the billing document.
  3. Scroll down to Output Items.
  4. Select the original output item.
  5. Choose 'Duplicate'.
  6. Choose 'Send'.
  7. 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.
