3753312 - Different Bill-to Party During Supplier Invoice Creation from Multiple Purchase Orders or Goods and Services Receipts

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

  1. Go to Supplier Invoicing work center.
  2. Go to Invoice Entry view.
  3. Show All Deliveries to be Invoiced.
  4. 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.
  5. 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

    1. Go to Organizational Management work center.
    2. Go to Work Distribution view.
    3. Go to Organizational Work Distribution sub-view.
    4. Choose Supplier Invoicing in Work Category and Select Edit.
    5. 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.
