Following the steps of scope item 3ZB a Billing Document is created. However, the Supplier invoice is not created in turn. In the Message Dashboard app, under /MMEDI PRocurement EDI scenario, the INVREQUIN/0001 invoice request interface returns the error "Not able to determine invoicing party."

As explained in API help portal, system determine the invoicing party by reading parameter BuyerPartyID when the attribute PartyType = BillFrom, or parameter SupplierPartyID when the attribute PartyType = BillTo. Either the BuyerPartyID, or the SupplierPartyID must be available.

The priority of these two parameter is:
Prio 1: If the attribute PartyType = BillFrom, the BuyerPartyID corresponds directly to the LIFNR field.

Prio 2: If the attribute PartyType = BillTo, the parameter SupplierPartyID, corresponds to LFB1-EIKTO (the buyer’s account number at the supplier). Via the table LFB1 the system determines the corresponding invoicing party (LIFNR).

If the corresponding invoicing party LIFNR cannot be found, system cannot determine the invoicing party and error message will be issued.

Please maintain BuyerPartyID (if PartyType = BillFrom) or SupplierPartyID (if PartyType = BillTo) properly to make sure system can determine invoicing party field LIFNR.
