3744412 - Non-PO supplier invoices from SAP Business Network (Ariba) missing line-item details in application layer – SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

When integrating Non-PO supplier invoices from SAP Business Network (Ariba) into SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition via the Cloud Integration Gateway (CIG). Non-PO invoices are successfully transmitted from SAP Business Network and are parked in the system. However, the line-item details specifically direct postings to G/L accounts without a purchase order reference  are not transferred into the parked invoice in the application layer. As a result, the invoice cannot be posted and must be completed manually.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Create a Non-PO invoice in SAP Business Network (Ariba) with direct G/L account line items (no purchase order reference).
  2. Transmit the invoice to SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition via CIG.
  3. Open the Manage Supplier Invoices application in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition.
  4. Locate the parked invoice received from SAP Business Network.

     Result: The invoice header is present in the parked state, but the G/L account line items from the original invoice are absent. The invoice cannot be posted without manually re-entering the line items.

Cause

This is standard system behavior, not a defect.

The 42K invoice parking logic (managed outside of the MM-IV component) allows Non-PO invoices to be parked when the CIG BAdI configuration is active. However, by standard design, direct G/L account postings (non-PO referenced line items) are never transferred into the parked invoice. This is an inherent limitation of the parking mechanism within the CIG integration layer and is not configurable.

Resolution

As direct G/L account postings are not transferred into parked Non-PO invoices by standard design, the following steps are required to complete the invoice posting:

  1. Open the Manage Supplier Invoices application.
  2. Locate the parked invoice received from SAP Business Network.
  3. Open the invoice and manually re-enter the missing G/L account line items with the correct amounts, cost objects, and tax codes.
  4. Verify the invoice balance and post the document.

Note: This manual re-entry step is required for every Non-PO invoice transmitted from SAP Business Network that contains direct G/L account line items. There is currently no standard configuration that enables automatic transfer of these line items into the parked invoice.

If the business requirement mandates automatic transfer of G/L line items, submit a product enhancement request via the SAP Customer Influence portal. Refer to SAP KBA 2838428 – How to Submit Feature Requests for Procure in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition Product for submission instructions.
