3236339 - The Document Number for an Invoice Generated by the System for Tax County Spain is not the Expected one

Symptom

You created a document numbering rule with a prefix for country Spain but the Invoice generated by the system for Tax County Spain is not using the document numbering rule but is a numeric value without the prefix.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Business Configuration work center.
  2. Select the Implementation Projects view.
  3. Select your implementation project and click on the Open Activity List button.
  4. In the Fine-Tune step open the fine tuning activity Document Numbering Formats for Customer Invoicing
  5. Click on the hyperlink Define document numbering formats for other countries/regions
  6. For Tax Country/Region Spain you created a numbering rule with the prefix XYZ (XYZ represents the prefix of the document numbering rule) for the Document Type Invoice.

  7. Go to the Customer Invoicing work center.
  8. Select the Invoice Document view.
  9. You can see that the respective Invoice is using a numeric value only.

 

You expect that the Invoice created will use the document numbering rule with the prefix XYZ.

Cause

The Self Billing Indicator was activated in the New Manual Invoice.

With Release 2208 we introduced the Self Billing Scenario for the Country Spain.

If the Self Billing Indicator in the General tab of the New Manual Invoice Request is active, the Document Number of the Invoice will use a Global Document Number and not the Document Numbering Rule maintained in the Fine Tuning Activity for the Country Spain.

Resolution

This is the expected system behaviour.
