Symptom
- An invoice was created and approved in s/4hana against a purchase order for a given quantity.
- The same invoice was then created in ariba for the same quantity and was also approved in s/4hana.
- Two invoices (same quantity each) exist against one purchase order and one goods receipt/material document.
- The system allowed two invoice postings despite duplicate reference number checks being enabled.
- Relevant message types referenced: M8462, M8108, M8805, M8804.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Create a purchase order in S/4 HANA Cloud tenant with ME21N advance app or "Create Purchase Order" app.
- Post Goods Receipt in S/4 HANA Cloud tenant.
- Create a supplier invoice in S/4 HANA Cloud tenant with MIRO or "Create Supplier Invoice" app.
- Create the same supplier invoice in Ariba (CIM).
Cause
Duplicate invoice check message types for Logistics Invoice Verification and Accounting were not configured.
Resolution
- In SSCUI 102091 (Define Message Types for Area M8), set the following message types to Error:
- M8462 (duplicate logistical invoice found)
- M8108 (duplicate financial invoice/accounting document found)
- M8805 (logistical invoice)
- M8804 (financial invoice)
2. Ensure the standard duplicate controls are active where applicable:
- Duplicate reference number check enabled.
- Double invoice verification enabled for the supplier.
- GR-based invoice verification enabled at the purchase order and supplier, if required by the process.
Re-test the end-to-end scenario: Post the first invoice in S/4HANA, then attempt to post the same invoice from Ariba, and confirm the system raises an error and blocks the duplicate.
