Symptom
- The same Document ID is generated for both incoming and outgoing Bank Transfers in the Payment Management Work Center in the view Payment Monitor.
- The Document IDs are identical for transactions within the same Fiscal Year YYYY (where YYYY is the Fiscal Year).
- Two outgoing Bank Transfers and one incoming Bank Transfer share the same Document ID despite differing posting dates.
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Navigate to the Payment Management Work Center.
- Open the Payment Monitor view.
- Show all payments and search for Document ID "XXX" (where XXX is the Document ID).
Observe that for Fiscal Year YYYY, two outgoing Bank Transfers and one incoming Bank Transfer share the same Document ID "XXX". Expectation would be that these Documents would have unique Document IDs.
Cause
The system behavior is standard and designed to generate identical Document IDs for incoming and outgoing Bank Transfers within the same Fiscal Year YYYY.
Resolution
- Confirm that the behavior is standard and cannot be modified.
- Consider implementing alternative methods to differentiate transactions, such as additional metadata or custom tagging.
