Symptom
When uploading supplier invoice file in app Upload Supplier Invoices, the invoice detail data is not extracted and filled automatically. An empty supplier invoice draft is created.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Upload a supplier invoice PDF document in app Upload Supplier Invoices.
- An empty supplier invoice draft has been created and the invoice details are not automatically filled in the corresponding fields.
Cause
The functionality of the Upload Supplier Invoices app (without having bought OpenText scope item 1LE) is simply to attach the attachment to an empty invoice draft. There isn't more functionality behind.
The OpenText solution isn't sold any longer, so if the license was not purchased before, it is not possible to prefilled drafts enriched by OCR.
Resolution
In order to get the invoice data filled and posted automatically, currently the only SAP solution for this is SAP Ariba Central Invoice Management (scope item 4N6). It also requires an additional license. This business solution contains a variety of applications to help you import supplier invoices with precise parameters and manage them in a unified interface.
