3507876 - Supplier Down Payment Requests are Automatically Assigned to the Supplier Invoice Document

Symptom

You have paid few supplier down payment requests in the system. However when you create a supplier invoice, these down payment requests are getting assigned automatically and the behavior is incorrect. 

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Supplier Invoicing work center
  2. Go to to Invoices and Credit Memos view
  3. Select the relevant Supplier Invoice 
  4. Go to General tab and navigate to Down Payments sub tab
  5. System assigns the available Down Payment Requests

Cause

The system is designed to automatically assign the Down Payment Request (DPR). 

Resolution

When you create new supplier invoice for the supplier, it will be automatically fetched to avoid a manual mistake where down payments are omitted. This is standard system behavior.  In the current functionality, you have to manually remove the down payments. Nevertheless, you can always manually remove if the down payment request references are incorrect.
