3772220 - Accounts Payable - Line Items Report Shows Status "Not Assigned" For Reversal Postings

Symptom

In the Accounts Payable - Line Items report, the Status field displays "Not Assigned" for multiple entries 

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Business Analytics work center.
  2. Open the Design Reports view.
  3. Search for and open the “Accounts Payable - Line Items” report.
  4. Provide a supplier ID and apply the selection.
  5. Observe that some entries show Status as “Not Assigned”.

Cause

  • The system categorizes supplier line items primarily as Open or Canceled.
  • There is no separate category specifically maintained for reversal documents.
  • Reversal postings created by canceled supplier invoices are grouped under Status “Not Assigned” in the report.

Resolution

  • This is standard system behavior, reversal postings from canceled supplier invoices appear with Status “Not Assigned” in the Accounts Payable - Line Items report; no corrective action is required.
  • To validate, check that the related supplier invoices are in Canceled status and that corresponding reversal journal entries exist for the original postings.
