3534324 - Visibility of "Payment Reference" Field during Down Payment Creation in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

When creating a down payment request, the "Payment Reference" field is missing. This means the VAT amount can’t be entered manually, blocking the split payment process.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Resolution

  1. Ensure that both alternative GL accounts maintained in the Automatic Account Determination for Special G/L indicator A and Special G/L indicator F have a field status in which the Payment Reference field is set as Optional.
  2. This is necessary as there is a link between A and F (i.e., F is set up as a target Special GL indicator for A).
  3. If the field is still not visible, check the field status group for all GL accounts used in this process to have the Payment Reference field set as Optional.
  4. Use the open Transport Request for these changes.
