3396515 - Customer Invoice Splitting due to Changes in the Tax Reporting Unit

Customer Invoice document is splitting during the invoicing process due to a difference in the address of the Tax Reporting Unit. However, when checking the Tax Reporting Unit for all Lines Items maintained in a Sales Order, the same Tax Reporting Unit address is displayed. 

SAP Business ByDesign

1. Go to the Customer Invoicing Work Center.
2. Go to the Invoice Request View.
3. In the search field, Search for the Outbound Delivery Invoice Request ABC (where ABC represents the Outbound Delivery Invoice Request ID).
4. Select Invoice button.

The following message is displayed:

Criteria
Invoice ID : #1
Invoice ID : #2

Tax Reporting Unit : Org Unit XX Address 1/Org Unit XX Address 2 (Where Org Unit XX stands for the relevant Business Partner picked as the Tax Reporting Unit).

For the party listed under Criteria, different addresses are available in the predecessor documents. To avoid invoice split, maintain the same address in the involved Parties tab of both the predecessor documents.

The Tax Reporting Unit Address/Business Partner Name was changed on the master data:

Some of the line items were added in the Sales Order when the Tax Reporting Unit Address/Name was maintained as the previous value, however other line items were added in the same Sales Order when the Tax Reporting Unit Address/Name was already updated as the new one.

In case the Name was changed, it is possible to see different Tax Reporting Unit names between the items in the same Sales Order on the Taxes sub tab (some with the previous name, and others with the current name).

Therefore, the changes in the Tax Reporting Unit when the items were added result in the Customer Invoice splitting. 

This is the standard system behavior.
