3740328 - Field Plant entered in assign profitability segment disappears on simulate in create supplier invoice and error f5/393 is faced

We see plant ID in "Assign Profitability Segment" under G/L account items; after "Derive and Close" the plant disappears and, on Simulate/Check, the system raises error F5/393: "Please enter a value for field Plant for account ...".

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

1. Open the app "Create Supplier Invoice" (non-PO invoice).
2. Enter header details (company code, dates, reference, invoicing party).
3. Add a G/L account item and enter amount; open item details.
4. Choose "Assign Profitability Segment".
5. Enter a Plant value and select "Derive and Close".
6. Choose Simulate or Check.
7. Observe that the plant is not retained for the G/L item and the error appears.

The supplier invoice apps and APIs do not support Plant (WERKS) as a direct account assignment object in the G/L item. Plant can be used only as derivation criteria for the profitability segment. Because Plant is not a supported G/L account assignment in this scenario, validation for a G/L account that requires Plant leads to error F5/393 during simulate/check.

Field Plant is not supported as a direct account assignment object in Create Supplier Invoice/Supplier Invoice Advanced; it is only used for profitability segment derivation.

If your process requires Plant as a direct G/L item field in supplier invoices, it would not be possible since is a currently limitation of the system.
