Symptom
- Request to add date field at the line item level in the Create Supplier Invoice - Advanced app.
- The feature is expected to help when processing material or service invoices against purchase orders.
- The option is not available in standard functionality.
- No error messages are shown.
Environment
- Product: SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
- Fiori UI for Invoice Verification (Public Cloud)
Reproducing the Issue
- Open the Create Supplier Invoice - Advanced app.
- Attempt to add a date field at the line item level.
Cause
- The invoice line shows the goods receipt (material document) number, but not the date; the date exists on the goods receipt document itself.
- It is not possible to add a custom date column to the purchase order item tab in this app; this is designed behavior (referenced by support article 3719409).
- A goods receipt document can have multiple dates (document date, posting date, entry date), which affects which value users expect.
- For service purchase orders where goods receipt is disabled, no goods receipt document (and therefore no date) exists.
Resolution
- To view the date from the invoice: open the invoice line’s referenced documents/purchase order history, go to Document Flow, and open the linked goods receipt; read the document date and posting date there.
- Alternatively, note the goods receipt (material document) number shown on the invoice line and open it in the material document display app to read the date directly.
- For reporting needs: build a custom analytical view/report that joins invoice line items to their goods receipt documents so the relevant date appears in analytics (not on the invoice-entry screen).
- Be aware that adding a date column directly to the invoice-entry line is not supported by design in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition.
- If showing the date on-screen at line level is a firm requirement, submit an improvement request via the Customer Influence portal.
