3621045 - “&1 is not an input field” Error During Sales Order Creation API in S/4HANA Public Cloud

Symptom

During Sales Order creation via standard Public Cloud API or SOAP Web Service (SalesOrderBulkRequest_In), the following errors are encountered:

  • Field ADDRESS_GUID is not an input field.
  • Field SLINE_DATE is not an input field.

Environment

  • SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
  • API: Sales Order (A2X / SalesOrderBulkRequest_In)

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Call the sales order create API from CPI.
  2. Observe the errors in S4 message monitor indicating that fields ADDRESS_GUID and SLINE_DATE are not passed in the payload.

Cause

This issue typically occurs under the following conditions:

  • The Sales Order contains multiple line items.
  • Each line item includes a valid RequestedDeliveryDate, but the dates differ between items.
  • A Sales Document Rejection Reason is set for one or more items.

Under these combined conditions, the internal logic in the S/4HANA backend attempts to reference the field SLINE_DATE — which is not part of the publicly exposed API structure in S/4HANA Public Cloud.

Resolution

  1. Ensure consistency in requested delivery dates across all items when applicable, especially for export orders, to align with SAP’s internal processing rules.
  2. Use RequestedDeliveryDate: When submitting sales orders with multiple lines, ensure that the RequestedDeliveryDate (and ConfirmedDeliveryDate when applicable) to specify the delivery date for schedule lines, is provided for each item. This should help avoid the error encountered with SLINE_DATE.
  3. Exclude undesired UUIDs in the payload to avoid ambiguity with multiple addresses associated with the same customer.
  4. Refer to SAP Business Hub for correct field usage in the API: SAP Business Hub.
  5. If the undesired UUID is being picked up unintentionally, review the partner function mapping and prune the payload accordingly.
