3745007 - Payment Method And Partner Bank Not Defaulting From Supplier Data In Create Supplier Invoice – Behavior And Limitations (S/4 Hana Cloud Public Edition)

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

  1. Open the Maintain Business Partner app and select a supplier that has one or more payment methods and multiple bank accounts maintained.
  2. Open the Create Supplier Invoice app.
  3. 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

  1. 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.
  2. 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?.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
