Symptom
- The "Import Supplier Invoices" Excel upload tool does not support entry of the Special G/L Indicator, preventing users from posting special vendor transactions such as down payments.
- This functionality is expected but has never been available in the current tool.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Attempt to use the "Import Supplier Invoices" app to upload an Excel template for special vendor transactions requiring the Special G/L Indicator.
- Observe that the Special G/L Indicator field is unavailable, preventing the posting of such transactions.
Cause
The app posts from an MM invoice first and then a subsequent accounting document is created. It is a standard system design that the app "Import Supplier Invoices" does not support the uploading of special G/L indicator cases, as this field is not supported on the MM part of the process.
Resolution
- Currently, this is a limitation but it has already addressed by developers and provided a solution based on customer influence portal.
- Check out this community blog for the solution: Payload Examples for API Journal Entry – Post - SAP Community
- Use the API: Post Journal Entries, which supports special G/L postings as an alternative solution.
