When looking for Supplier Invoices:
- If a Supplier invoice is obtained from a Purchase order, then the respective Offset Customer / Supplier ID field displays the Business Partner ID in the Report.
- If a Supplier invoice is derived directly (without Purchase Orders), then add the field - Creditor Business Partner (Journal Entry Item) to view the Business Partner ID in the report.
For all other scenarios:
