3764860 - XML Attachments are Not Generated in Output History for ERS Invoice.

Symptom

When creating and posting a new ERS (Evaluated Receipt Settlement) Supplier Invoice, the system does not generate the corresponding XML output attachment.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Supplier Invoicing work center.
  2. Under Common Tasks, Select New ERS Invoice.
  3. Enter the required details.
  4. Select "Post".
  5. Select Attachments tab, under Output History tab.

No XML file is created for the ERS invoice.

Cause

The system requires the ERS invoice to be saved before posting.

If the posting is triggered without a prior save, the necessary data initialization for XML output generation is not completed, resulting in the XML attachment not being created.

Resolution

Save the ERS invoice before posting to ensure that the XML attachment is generated and available under the Output History – Attachments section of the Supplier Invoice document.
