3764608 - Supplier Invoice Reversal Does Not Automatically Clear FI Open Items

Symptom

  • Logistics supplier invoices and their corresponding reversal documents are not automatically cleared after a reversal.
  • The logistics status is updated correctly, but the original invoice and the reversal remain as open items in financial accounting (fi)
  • No error message is displayed

Environment

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

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Post a supplier invoice against a purchase order using the Create Supplier Invoice – Advanced (MIRO) application.
  2. Open the Supplier Invoices List app (Fiori ID: F1060A), select the invoice, and perform a reversal using the Reverse function.

Cause

  • Materials Management (mm) and Financial Accounting (fi) are architecturally decoupled; an mm invoice reversal does not initiate fi open item clearing by design
  • It is not possible to configure the mm reversal to initiate fi clearing at the moment the reversal is posted

Resolution

  1. Note the design behavior: immediate, automatic FI clearing at the moment of MM invoice reversal is not available.
  2. In the Fiori launchpad, navigate to Manage Your Solution > Configure Your Solution > Application Area: Finance > Sub-Area: General Settings, and search for “101971”.
  3. Open “Prepare Automatic Clearing” (SSCUI ID 101971) and maintain the relevant vendor open item clearing criteria according to your business requirements.
  4. Use the Schedule General Ledger Jobs app to schedule a regular (for example, daily) run of automatic clearing for open items in fi.
