3735929 - No Common Reference Fields between Invoice and Payment Document - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Currently, there is no common reference fields link between invoice and payment document (created from automatic payment program - Manage Automatic Payments app) that can be utilized for Automatic Clearing.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

1. Post a supplier invoice with a value in the Reference field.
2. Run a payment proposal and post payments using the Manage Automatic Payments app.
3. Open the resulting payment journal entry in Manage Journal Entries.
4. Observe that the payment document header Reference field does not contain the Reference value that was added to the paid invoice.

By design, the automatic payment program does not transfer invoice Reference or Assignment values to the payment document. Because a payment can clear multiple invoices with differing values, copying a single Reference is non-deterministic. This behavior applies even in 1:1 payment scenarios.
