Symptom
While creating a Supplier Invoice using multiple Goods and Services Receipts (GSR) or Purchase Orders, the Bill-to Party is different from the one maintained in the Purchase Order.
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to Supplier Invoicing work center.
- Go to Invoice Entry view.
- Show All Deliveries to be Invoiced.
- Select two or more Goods and Services Receipts (GSR) for the same supplier where the related purchase orders have the same Bill-To in their headers.
- Choose New Invoice and see that the Bill-To location on the invoice differs from the Bill-To maintained in the purchase orders.
Cause
- When a supplier invoice is created from multiple reference documents (combined Goods and Services Receipts or Purchase Order), the system derives the Bill-To party from Organizational Work Distribution.
To see the Work Distribution, follow the steps
-
- Go to Organizational Management work center.
- Go to Work Distribution view.
- Go to Organizational Work Distribution sub-view.
- Choose Supplier Invoicing in Work Category and Select Edit.
- See the Org unit responsible is maintained for specific Supplier or Buying Company.
- If no work distribution is maintained, the buying company is used as default Bill-To party.
- For Supplier invoice created from a single Goods and Service Receipts or Purchase Order, the Bill-To party is taken from the purchase order.
Resolution
This is the expected system behavior.
