3749468 - Only One Accounting Document Created For Back-Posted Supplier Invoice With Price Difference — SAP S/4 HANA Cloud Public Edition

• Behavior differs from note "3595992:" when posting a supplier invoice to a previous period and a price difference exists, the system creates only one accounting document.
• Only one accounting document is generated in the previous period; the expected second document for the current open period is not created.
• No specific error message is displayed.

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

1. Post a supplier invoice related to a purchase order with a posting date in a previous period.
2. Ensure a price difference exists for the invoice.
3. Observe that only one accounting document is created in the previous period instead of two (one in the previous period and one in the current open period).

The number range for accounting document type “RP” was not maintained, preventing creation of the second document that carries the price difference to the current open period even though “Price Change in Previous Period” was configured to carry the difference forward.

1. Verify the configuration “Configure Price Change in Previous Period” is set so that price differences are carried over to the current open period (Implementation Activities → Materials Management → Valuation and Account Assignment → Account Determination → Configure Price Change in Previous Period).
2. Define and activate a valid number range for the accounting document type “RP” in the relevant number range configuration for journal entries so the system can post the second document.
3. Post or simulate the back-dated supplier invoice again and confirm that two accounting documents are created: one in the previous period and one in the current open period reflecting the price difference.
4. If the material uses valuation price control 2V, note that with the above configuration and a valid RP number range, the system will create the second document and override the automatic roll-forward behavior.
