3303283 - Reference Field is Not Updated in Purchase Order history for Freight Invoice - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

Reference Field is not updated in the Purchase Order History for the Freight Invoices.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Open the App: Create Purchase Order Advanced.
  2. Select "Other Purchase Order" and enter the PO.
  3. Navigate to the Item Details section and open the Purchase Order History.
  4. For Del Cost log invoices, observe that the Reference field is blank.

Cause

The "GR Based IV" indicator (goods-receipt-based invoice verification) is not applicable for delivery cost and there won't be any reference between the goods receipt and invoice document. The Reference field will only get updated only for actual material item GR/IR postings.

Resolution

This is the standard system design.

The "GR Based IV" indicator (goods-receipt-based invoice verification) is not applicable for delivery cost and there won't be any reference between the goods receipt and invoice document.

As a result, the Reference field in the Purchase Order History is expected to remain blank for Freight Invoices.
