3090471 - Placeholder in Email Subject is Showing the Invoice ID Twice

Symptom

 The subject of the e-mail shows the Invoice ID twice.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign.

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Customer Invoicing Work Center.
  2. Go to Invoice Documents View. 
  3. Search for Invoice ID XYZ and select it. (XYZ stands for the Invoice ID)
  4. Click in the Edit button and then in the View All button.
  5. Navigate to the Output History tab and to E-mail Text subtab. 

See that E-mail Subject: 'ABC - Invoice No. XYZ XYZ'. (ABC represents the Seller's Account)

Cause

The Invoice ID is always attached to the end of the e-mail subject, so it only shows once. However if a placeholder is added, the e-mail subject is going to show the ID twice.

Resolution

In order to avoid the Invoice ID from showing twice in the E-mail Subject, please remove the Invoice ID Placeholder and let the system automatically add this information.
