3674330 - Same Delivery Document Used for Multiple Billing Types (F2 & F8)

• The system allows creating an F8 pro forma invoice using the same delivery number that was already used for an F2 invoice.  
• Once an F2 invoice is created for a delivery, the system should restrict the creation of another billing document (e.g. F8) for the same delivery.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

1. Create an F2 invoice referencing a delivery.  
2. Attempt to create an F8 pro forma invoice using the same delivery number.  

The observed behavior is the standard in S/4HANA Public Cloud. The system is designed to allow the creation of an F8 (Pro Forma Invoice) even after an F2 (Invoice) has been generated for the same delivery.  

The distinction between these two billing types lies in their purpose and financial implications:

• F2 Invoice: This document is financially relevant and posts directly to accounting (FI). Once an F2 invoice is created, the billing status of the associated delivery is updated to "Fully Billed" preventing the creation of another F2 invoice for the same delivery.  
• F8 Pro Forma Invoice: As outlined in the help document Creating a Pro Forma Invoice | SAP Help Portal, the system allows multiple pro forma invoices to be generated from a single sales document or delivery. These invoices do not impact the billing status, and cancellations are not permitted. If adjustments are needed, a new pro forma invoice can simply be created.
