Cause
Missing functionality with workaround
Resolution
In SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, your observation is entirely correct. The Create Incoming Invoice allows for manual local, functional, or group currency overrides at the line-item level.
However, the standard Excel template for the Import Supplier Invoices app does not explicitly expose standard functional or group currency amount fields by default.
This is a known structural constraint of the Excel-based mass upload tool, which expects the system to automatically handle parallel currency conversions using the configured exchange rates based on the Document Currency amount.
You have a few structural options:
If there is no PO\SO in the business process, the Upload General Journal Entries is significantly more flexible for multi-currency handling.
-
Why it works: Its template natively supports explicit entries for different currency types (Company Code Currency, Functional Currency, Group Currency) and their respective amounts per line item.
-
The Process: You can upload them using the Journal Entry template with a journal entry type configured for supplier invoices (KR), directly crediting the vendor line item and debiting the G/L accounts while defining exact X and Y amounts.
If you must post them strictly as Supplier Invoices and manual entries aren't scalable, the Excel template UI app will restrict you. You should switch to the standard OData or SOAP APIs:
-
API to use: Supplier Invoice (OData v2 / v4) or Supplier Invoice - Create.
-
How it helps: The API schema exposes deep structures allowing custom exchange rates or explicit parallel currency amounts to be delivered during creation, bypassing the rigid constraints of the simplified Fiori Excel template.
If the you need to use the app Import Supplier Invoices, you could follow this business process:
- Import invoices in the document currency and rely on automatic currency conversion based on exchange rates configured in the system
