Symptom
The payment reason is maintained in the supplier master data but does not automatically carry over to the supplier invoice during posting in the "Create Incoming Invoices" app.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Maintain a payment reason in the supplier master data.
- Create a supplier invoice for that supplier.
- Check the posted invoice and observe that the payment reason is not populated on the invoice.
Cause
By design, the payment reason on the supplier invoice is an editable field and is not automatically derived from supplier/business partner master data during invoice creation.
Resolution
- If an invoice-level payment reason is required, enter the payment reason manually during supplier invoice creation.
- Alternatively, proceed without setting it on the invoice. During the automatic payment run, the system will derive the payment reason from the supplier master data.
