3556531 - The payment method is not derived from the business partner master data when creating an incoming invoice

The payment method is not derived from the business partner master data when creating an incoming invoice.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

This is a standard system behavior.

The payment method is not automatically derived when entering an incoming invoice. It is possible to assign multiple payment methods in the business partner master data, but the system cannot determine which payment method should be used in this case.

In fact, the payment method is more related to the payment program. Check the following documentation for the usage of this field while entering a document:

"If you enter a payment method, then only this payment method can be used in automatic payment transactions. Unless you enter a payment method, one of the payment methods that were allowed in the master record is selected in the payment program according to specified rules.

For document entry or document changes, you only enter a payment method if you want to switch off the automatic payment method selection of the payment program."
