3517923 - Wrong language in the Billing Form SDBIL_CI_PROF_SRV_DE

Symptom

Some texts in the Billing Form (SDBIL_CI_PROF_SRV_DE) are displayed in the German language (DE) instead English language (EN).

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Open the Billing Document in the customizing system
  2. Go to Output and open PDF
  3. Some texts are in German language

Cause

The billing document item description is taken from the sales order. In the sales order, the initially displayed item text depends on the communication language of the business partner entered in the sales order. But this material description is editable. As there is only one communication language possible for a business partner, the billing document item description will always be in this language (until enter a custom text).

Resolution

If it's necessary to have the material description, please use the field MaterialName in the form. This text is translated as long as a translation for the respective language is maintained - else it will be defaulted to English.

Also, in sales order the following logic applies. Please check the KBA 2941093 - The material description of a sales order item doesn't display in desired language within app Manage Sales Orders - SAP S/4HANA Cloud.
