3759373 - Create Supplier Invoice - Advanced App (MIRO) Validates Against PO Line Item Instead Of Overall/Header Limit (Enhanced Limit PO) - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

  • During MIRO posting, the system validates the amount at individual PO line item level instead of the total overall/header PO value.
  • The expectation is to allow posting against any PO line item until the total overall/header PO value is exhausted.
  • An error is raised once the individual line item expected value is exceeded.

Environment

  • Product: SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
  • Fiori UI for Invoice Verification (Public Cloud)

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Create a Purchase Order with category Enhanced Limit using the Manage Purchase Order app.
  2. Submit the Purchase Order for approval and have it approved.
  3. Try to post an invoice in Create Supplier Invoice - Advanced App for the PO and attempt to post amounts exceeding an individual item’s limit but within the overall/header value; observe validation at item level.

Cause

  • Standard design: validation for Enhanced Limit Purchase Orders occurs at the item level in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition.
  • The tolerance framework is applied per item; for Enhanced Limit items without Goods Receipt, relevant tolerance keys include:
  • LD (time limit exceeded): checks invoice performance dates against the PO item validity period.
  • LA (amount of limit item): sums prior postings plus the current invoice against the item’s “Overall Limit Amount” and errors if exceeded.
  • Header-level aggregation/validation across items is not available in standard.

Resolution

  1. Acknowledge the standard behavior: S4 HANA Cloud Public validates Enhanced Limit items against item-level limits via tolerance keys (for example, LD and LA), not against a PO header/overall total.
  2. If header-level validation is required, submit a feature request through the Customer Influence program. Refer to: 2963059 - How to Submit Feature Requests for SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition.
  3. Track and vote on ideas in the influence portal. Refer to: Customer Influence portal.
