3657162 - No Options are Available to Set Conditions for the Automatic Submission of Business Transaction Documents to the PEPPOL Network

Symptom

After scoping the question "Would you like to enable automatic submission of business transaction documents to the PEPPOL network?", you would like to know if there is a possibility to set conditions to filter which type of invoices are going to be automatically submitted in the Document Compliance Monitor View (for example: only invoices created from intercompany scenarios to be automatically submitted to the PEPPOL network).

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Customer Invoicing Work Center.
  2. Go to the Document Compliance Monitor View.
  3. Filter for All Outgoing Documents.

All Invoices recently created in the system are displayed without any specific criteria.

Cause

Currently, there are no options available to set conditions for determining which invoices will be automatically submitted to the PEPPOL network after the Scoping Question "Would you like to enable automatic submission of business transaction documents to the PEPPOL network?" is "In Scope." 

Once the Scoping Question "Would you like to enable automatic submission of business transaction documents to the PEPPOL network?" is "In Scope.", all invoices released in the system will be included in the automatic submission to the PEPPOL network.

Resolution

This is the current standard system behavior.

As a possible workaround, the Scoping Question "Would you like to enable automatic submission of business transaction documents to the PEPPOL network?" could be set to "Not in Scope". However, if this Scoping Question is "Not in Scope," all released invoices within the system would need to be manually submitted to the PEPPOL network. 

To set the Scoping Question "Would you like to enable automatic submission of business transaction documents to the PEPPOL network?" as "Not in Scope", the following steps can be performed:

  1. Go to Business Configuration Work Center.
  2. Go to the Implementation Projects View.
  3. Mark the First Implementation.
  4. Select Edit Project Scope.
  5. Navigate to 4 - Questions step.
  6. Expand the Scoping Element Compliance.
  7. Expand Document Compliance Service.
  8. Select the Document Compliance Service Integration.
  9. Unmark the question “Would you like to enable automatic submission of business transaction documents to PEPPOL network?”.
  10. Select Next.
  11. Select Accept Preselected Answers.
  12. Select Finish.

Now all future released invoices in the system must be manually submitted to the PEPPOL network. 

In case the conditions for determining which invoices will be automatically submitted to the PEPPOL network are required for your business process, then raise an implementation request through our Influence Portal,  the official platform for proposing ideas and improvement requests for SAP Business ByDesign.
