Symptom
- In the Manage Supplier Line Items app, the real name of one-time suppliers is not displayed during payment clearing.
- The Supplier Name column, if added to the screen layout, only displays the generic one-time supplier master name rather than the name entered during invoice posting.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Navigate to the Manage Supplier Line Items app in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition.
- Attempt to perform payment clearing for a one-time supplier.
- Observe that the real name of the one-time supplier is not displayed, and only the generic one-time supplier master name is visible.
Cause
- For one-time suppliers, name, address, and bank details are stored only at document level during invoice posting.
- Standard line item apps (Manage Supplier Line Items) do not read document-level one-time supplier data. Therefore, only the generic one-time supplier master name is displayed, not the actual name entered in the invoice.
- This is standard system behavior.
Resolution
Workaround:
If access to one-time supplier details is required:
-
Use the CDS view I_OneTimeAccountSupplier, which exposes one-time supplier information at document level and can be consumed for reporting or analytical purposes.
-
Alternatively, the accounting document (journal entry) can be opened to review the actual payee details entered during posting.
-
If payee name visibility during clearing is a key business requirement, we recommend using a regular supplier master instead of a one-time supplier.
