Symptom
When uploading supplier invoices using the Import Supplier Invoices app (F3041) in SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Public Edition, the system does not automatically calculate tax amounts based on the tax code provided in the Excel/CSV template.
Tax amounts must be explicitly maintained in the upload file.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Cause
- The “Calculate Taxes” flag is available when creating invoices manually in the Fiori app and allows the system to automatically calculate tax amounts from net amount + tax code.
- However, during file-based uploads via the Import Supplier Invoices app, this functionality is not supported.
- Therefore, the system requires that tax amounts be explicitly entered in the upload template.
Resolution
- When using the Excel/CSV upload template in the Import Supplier Invoices app, ensure that tax amounts are pre-calculated and entered in the file.
- The system will not calculate tax automatically based on tax code during file upload
Workarounds / Recommendations:
- Pre-calculate tax amounts in the upload file (e.g., via Excel formulas, middleware such as SAP CPI, or SAP BTP).
- For manual invoice creation, use the “Calculate Taxes” flag to let the system calculate taxes automatically.
- If automatic tax calculation for bulk uploads is a critical requirement, submit or upvote an Influence Request in the SAP Customer Influence Portal with reference KBA 2838428 - How to Submit Feature Requests for Procure in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition Product.
