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
- Open the App: Create Purchase Order Advanced.
- Select "Other Purchase Order" and enter the PO.
- Navigate to the Item Details section and open the Purchase Order History.
- 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.
