3658566 - Automatic Tax Calculation in Import Supplier Invoices App - S/4 HANA Cloud Public Edition

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:

  1. Pre-calculate tax amounts in the upload file (e.g., via Excel formulas, middleware such as SAP CPI, or SAP BTP).
  2. For manual invoice creation, use the “Calculate Taxes” flag to let the system calculate taxes automatically.
  3. 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.
