Symptom
The Assignment field of a journal entry item is not populate with the Original Reference Document: the supplier invoice number via substitution or custom logic. The field appears blank.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Open the App Import Supplier Invoices (F3041)
- Import a supplier invoice using an upload file.
- Post the document and review the journal entry item: the Assignment field remains blank instead of being filled with the Original Reference Document of the invoice
Cause
Available BAdIs and FI substitution rules run early during document posting and only access fields present in the substitution structures at that time. The Original Reference Document field is not yet populated at that stage which means it cannot be used as a source to fill the Assignment field.
Resolution
There is no option to substitute the Original Reference Document into the Assignment field.
