Symptom
The "Customer reference" field is not displayed in the "Sales Volume - Flexible Analysis" app (F1250) for certain sales orders. The app displays a "#" symbol or leaves the field empty for these sales orders.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Open the "Sales Volume - Flexible Analysis" app (F1250)
- Add the Customer reference column
- Observe that some of the "Customer reference" fields is not displayed or shows a "#" symbol
Cause
The "Sales Volume - Flexible Analysis" app (F1250) is designed to show the sales volume of the total invoiced sales achieved during a specified period. This is based on invoice items or debit memo items (debits) that have not been cancelled. It retrieves its data from the CDS view I_BillingDocumentBasic, which relies on the field VBRK-BSTNK_VF (Customer Purchase Order Number at the billing level) instead of VBKD-BSTKD (Customer Reference from the sales order). If VBRK-BSTNK_VF is not populated during the billing process, the app will display a # symbol or leave the field empty, even if the Customer Reference was maintained in the sales order.
Resolution
- Ensure that the field VBRK-BSTNK_VF is populated during the billing process.
- Review and update the header copy control settings in "Sales Order to Billing Document" or "Delivery to Billing Document" to ensure the field VBRK-BSTNK_VF is correctly filled.
