3750667 - Missing Tax Code Auto-Fill in Supplier Down Payment Request Process

Symptom

When creating a supplier down payment request with reference to Purchase Order ABC and tax code XX assigned in the PO line item, the following issues occur. Despite the tax code XX being already maintained in the PO line item, the system prompts the user to manually enter the tax code.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Open the Manage Supplier Down Payment Requests app and select a supplier to create a supplier down payment request.
  2. In the Purchase Order selection field, observe that purchase orders for other suppliers are also shown.
  3. Choose a purchase order whose line item already has a tax code assigned.
  4. Continue creating the down payment request and observe that the app asks to enter the tax code manually instead of defaulting it.

Cause

The root cause of both issues is the missing Down Payment (DP) Category in the Purchase Order:
  1. The DP Category field is blank in the Payment Processing tab of the PO header.
  2. The DP Category field is also blank in the Invoice tab of PO line item.
This missing configuration leads to the "Manage Supplier Down Payment Requests" app being unable to auto-populate the tax code from the referenced PO line item.

Resolution

To resolve both the incorrect PO display and missing tax code auto-fill issues, use the "Monitor Purchase Order Down Payments" Fiori application to create supplier down payment requests. 

Additional Pre-requisite Configuration:

To ensure full functionality, maintain the DP Category in the referenced Purchase Order:
  1. Open the Manage Purchase Orders Fiori application.
  2. Enter PO number ABC and switch to Edit mode.
  3. Navigate to the Payment Processing tab in the PO header.
  4. Maintain the appropriate DP Category for the down payment process.
  5. Navigate to the Invoice tab of line item.
  6. Maintain the matching DP Category at the line item level.
  7. Save the changes to the Purchase Order.
