3270623 - Supplier Name not visible in Invoice Scanning view

Symptom

 In the view "Invoice Scanning" you cannot see the name of the supplier, only the Supplier ID in column "Supplier".

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Supplier Invoicing work center.
  2. Go to Invoice Scanning view.
  3. Navigate to column "Supplier"

Notice you cannot see the name of the supplier, only the Supplier ID.

Cause

This was a planned change due to new functionality of "Export to Excel" delivered in recent 2211 upgrade.

Export to Excel does not work for fields where CCTS type is ID and Description such as the Supplier field.

When exported to Excel this shows duplicate values (such as MC2000-MC2000) of Supplier ID in the column.

Resolution

 This is expected system behaviour.
