3717615 - Message No ME704 in "Create Supplier Invoice - Advance" (MIRO) app for exchange rate differences

Symptom

  • The system displays message ME704 in "Create Supplier Invoice - Advance" app  (MIRO) when the exchange rate in the invoice differs from the exchange rate in the purchase order.
  • Invoices created with reference to delivery notes can contain multiple line items originating from different delivery notes and purchase order items.
  • The issue arises due to repetitive confirmation required during invoice entry for each line item, which is time-consuming for invoices with many items (for examples up to 150 line items).
  • The message ME704 is not configurable in SSCUI Define Attributes of System Messages, and there is no standard way to suppress the message or avoid repeated confirmations.

Environment

SAP S/4 HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Create a Purchase order with different currency for supplier and comp code, where exchange rate considered. 
  2. Change exchange rate in app "Currency Exchange Rates" so that new exchange rate will be different from previous one.
  3. Create an invoice in MIRO (Create Supplier Invoice - advance" app with reference to delivery notes containing multiple line items from different purchase orders.
  4. Observe that message ME704 is displayed for each line item when the exchange rate in the invoice differs from the purchase order.
  5. Confirm the message manually for each line item.

Cause

The repetitive confirmation of Message No ME704 for each line item is due to the system's standard behavior, which is hardcoded and cannot be modified.

Resolution

  1. Use the "Create Supplier Invoice" app instead of the "Create Supplier Invoice - Advance" (MIRO) app.
  2. In the "Create Supplier Invoice" app, provide a delivery note to load all items.
  3. This approach eliminates the need to confirm the warning Message ME704 for each line item.
