3577532 - Incorrect Distribution of Overhead Surcharge on Cancelled Items in Purchase Order

Symptom

Overhead surcharge is being distributed among the cancelled items in a Purchase Order.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Purchase Requests and Order work center.
  2. Select Purchase Orders view.
  3. Search for the document and open it.
  4. Navigate to Items tab.
  5. Select the cancelled item.
  6. Navigate to Prices sub-tab.

Observe that the Overall Surcharge (Value) is distributed to this item.

Cause

The issue occurs when an amount/value is used at the header level. The sum does not match as it is distributed in each line and the calculation can be seen as less than the overall surcharge.

Resolution

This is a system behavior. When using a percentage in the header surcharge, the issue does not occur as it is calculated on each line individually and the net value is also reflected. However, if an amount/value is used at the header level, the sum will not match as it is distributed in each line and the calculation can be seen as less than the overall surcharge.
