3652264 - Payment hold flag not applied/transferred when registering SD invoice - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

When registering an SD invoice, the payment hold flag for payment terms is not being applied/transferred to it.

This behavior differs from registering a customer invoice, where the payment hold flag is correctly reflected.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

1. Create an SD invoice as a billing document within the Sales and Distribution module.
2. Post the SD billing document to create the corresponding FI accounting document.
3. Observe that the payment hold flag from the payment terms is not applied to the FI accounting document.

The issue arises from the distinct data processing paths and standard configuration of the SD-FI interface in the public cloud environment.

The payment hold flag is part of payment block information.

A customer invoice is an FI document, therefore the payment block information will be applied directly.

A SD invoice needs to be transferred from billing document to FI document through a process, however payment block information is not part of the standard field mapping in the SD-FI interface during the posting process, therefore the information will not be applied to it..

The behavior is due to system design. The payment block information from payment terms is not automatically transferred from the SD billing document to the corresponding FI accounting document during the posting process.

According to system program code, payment block (field ZLSPR) will be transferred to FI in only one exceptional case, where the VBRK-VBTYP of the billing document (invoice list) must be: 'H', 'K', 'N' or 'T'. The payment block will not be transferred to FI document in other circumstances.
