Symptom
- Users expect payment method maintained in supplier data to default into the supplier invoice.
- Users expect the system to automatically select the partner bank based on the invoice currency during invoice posting.
- No error messages were reported.
Environment
- Product: SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
- Fiori UI for Invoice Verification (Public Cloud)
Reproducing the Issue
- Open the Maintain Business Partner app and select a supplier that has one or more payment methods and multiple bank accounts maintained.
- Open the Create Supplier Invoice app.
- Create an invoice for the supplier and check whether the payment method and partner bank are defaulted based on supplier data and invoice currency.
Cause
- Standard behavior: payment method and payment block are not copied from supplier data into manually created invoices (refer to note 3207431).
- Dynamic selection of partner bank by invoice currency is not available in the public cloud scope.
Resolution
- Review standard behavior for payment method and payment block copying: refer to 3207431 - When creating supplier invoice, payment method and payment block fields are not copied from business partner.
- For payment terms determination in invoices, follow standard logic (from purchase order if referenced; otherwise from supplier data): refer to 2723267 - MIRO/MIR7: how does the system determine the payment terms?.
- If a default payment method is required during manual invoice entry, enter it manually in the invoice header/item as per process needs. Use the Automatic Payment Program to determine payment method at payment execution as per configuration.
- For partner bank selection based on invoice currency, maintain the correct partner bank manually during invoice entry. Dynamic selection by currency is not supported in the public cloud scope.
- If dynamic partner bank selection is a business requirement, submit a feature request: refer to 2963059 - How to Submit Feature Requests for SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition.
