3744965 - Create Supplier Invoice With Zero Quantity When Referencing a Purchase Order Item – S/4 Hana Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

User wants to confirm whether it's possible to create an invoice without involving the quantity.

Environment

  • Product: SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
  • Logistics Invoice Verification (Public Cloud)

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Open the Create Supplier Invoice app.
  2. Enter the relevant purchase order reference and change the referenced line item quantity to 0.
  3. Attempt to post the invoice; the system does not allow posting.

Cause

Standard system restriction: when an invoice references a purchase order item, the quantity cannot be zero.

Resolution

  1. Do not set the quantity to zero when referencing a purchase order item; maintain a quantity greater than zero to post the invoice.
  2. If a purely value-only posting without quantity impact is required, create a value invoice without referencing the purchase order item (if available in scope).
