3585066 - Error "Item 00000 of purchasing document & does not exist" in Manage Supplier Down Payments App

Symptom

An issue arises when attempting to process a vendor down payment request with reference to a Purchase Order (PO) in the Manage Supplier Down Payment Requests App. The system doesn't allow proceeding without selecting a Purchasing Document Item number.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Enter Manage Supplier Down Payment Requests App and post a vendor down payment.
  2. Enter PO number without entering the PO Doc. Item number.
  3. The error message occurs: "Item 00000 of purchasing document & does not exist."

Cause

The system requires both the PO number and Item number to be entered in the FI document. If only the PO is entered without the item, functions like PO history update would not work, leading to the error message.

Resolution

This is the standard system behavior. Always enter both the PO number and Item during down payment creation.
