3769316 - Supplier Invoice Posting is Allowed Even When Posting Date Earlier Than Invoice Date

Symptom

MIRO does not validate posting date earlier than invoice date, and the system allows saving the supplier invoice without stopping the user.

Environment

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

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Create a supplier invoice using the Create Supplier Invoice - Advanced app.
  2. Enter a posting date that is earlier than the invoice date and save. The system allows saving without a validation error.

Cause

  • The public cloud edition does not include a hard check to prevent posting when the posting date is earlier than the invoice date.

Resolution

  1. Implement custom logic to enforce the validation that the posting date cannot be earlier than the invoice date (for example, via available extensibility options) so that documents are blocked or corrected before posting.
  2. If you require this as a standard capability, submit a feature enhancement request via the Customer Influence portal. Refer to the KBA for instructions: 2963059 - How to Submit Feature Requests for SAP S/4HANA Cloud Product.
