3759817 - Custom Field On Purchase Order Item Not Propagated To Supplier Invoice, And Journal Entry Line Items - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

• A custom field defined on the purchase order item is expected to copy to supplier invoice and account postings but remains empty in the account posting line items.
• The custom field is visible on account postings (line items) but not filled.
• No error messages are displayed.

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

1. Create and publish a custom field on the Purchase Order Item business context in the Custom Fields app and enable relevant business scenarios (for example, material document item -> shipping: delivery item).
2. Create a purchase order and maintain a value in the custom field at item level.
3. Post a supplier invoice referencing the purchase order.
4. Open  the accounting postings (journal entries) for supplier invoice; observe that the custom field is present but not populated.

• In standard public cloud, propagation of custom fields from purchase order item to supplier invoice item is not supported. Only specific scenarios (for example, PO to delivery) are available, and no standard mapping exists to populate the field in supplier invoice or directly in journal entries.

1. Acknowledge that native propagation from purchase order item to supplier invoice (and subsequently to journal entry) is not available as standard in public cloud.
2. If the value is required in financial postings, create an equivalent custom field in journal entry line items and implement BAdI logic to populate it during posting (workaround).
3. Optionally, implement BAdI logic to transfer a maintained value from supplier invoice to the journal entry, if needed.
4. If end-to-end cross-object propagation is required, submit an enhancement request via the Customer Influence portal; refer to: 2963059 - How to Submit Feature Requests for SAP S/4HANA Cloud Product.
5. Monitor future releases for roadmap updates and retest after upgrades.
