Symptom
Official Document Numbering (ODN) is not assigned consecutively to Supplier Invoices document issued.
Environment
Product: SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Configure supplier invoices using “Official Document Number Determination – Classical” for India tax invoices.
- Post supplier invoices and observe that ODN is not assigned consecutively.
Cause
Official Document Numbering for India is governed by a separate country-specific configuration documented in the dedicated help portal guidance.
Resolution
Refer to: Configuring Official Document Numbering (India) and complete the country-specific setup.
For Reverse Charge Mechanism (RCM) supplier invoices (India), perform:
- Maintain vendor classification in Business Partner (Vendor: Country India Enh 2 tab) as 0 or 2; ODN is also applicable for suppliers outside India.
- Create a new document class for the RE document type (for example, ZRE).
- Assign document type RE to the new document class.
- Create a new number group (for example, ZRE001).
- Create a number range for the new number group.
- Assign the business place to the document class.
- Post the supplier invoice; for RCM cases, the India ODN appears in the Alternate Reference field of the accounting document header.
- Ensure the customizing activity “Assign Document Types to Document Classes” is maintained for the relevant document type and document class (for example, assign RE to ZRE).
- Verify “Maintain Fiscal Year Variant for ODN” is set as required and retest ODN assignment.
