Symptom
When creating the invoice, before saving (temporary status), the reference number is sales order. However, when saving the invoice, the reference number changes.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Cause
One of the possible causes is "Reference Number" field is getting changed due to ODN configuration.
Resolution
To avoid generating this number, set official document numbering to "Not Relevant" in the configuration activity "Assign Document Classes to Document Types"(ID:102700).
