3783173 - eDocument South Korea: How PDF Field Values Are Determined Across All Invoice Scenarios

Symptom

This article explains where each field value on the South Korea e-Tax Invoice PDF comes from, across all supported invoice scenarios. Use this as a reference to understand the business logic before configuring master data or troubleshooting unexpected values.

The PDF is generated when you select Display > Display PDF in the eDocument Cockpit (South Korea > South Korea e-Tax Invoice).

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Cause

Key Concept: The Submission Option

All seller (공급자) field values on the PDF are sourced from Business Place master data, maintained via Configuration Activity 104040 — Configuring Business Place.

When submitting in the eDocument Cockpit, the “Issue in the Name of Headquarters” checkbox determines which Business Place is used as the data source:

Option A – Default (checkbox not selected): Seller data is sourced from the Business Place assigned to the source document at posting time.
Option B – “Issue in the Name of Headquarters” (checkbox selected): Seller data is sourced from the Business Place designated as Head Office, as specified by the KR_MBP parameter in Configuration Activity 102739.

Resolution

Part 1 – Invoice Header

Applies to all invoice scenarios.

PDF Field	Korean	Source	Notes
Document Title	전자세금계산서 / 수정 전자세금계산서	“Tax Invoice” (전자세금계산서) for standard invoices; “수정 전자세금계산서” for Allowance	Determined by document type
TaxInvoiceNo	전자세금계산서번호	eDocument Cockpit → Approval ID column	Assigned by Korean Tax Authority after submission
OriginalInvoiceNo	원본전자세금계산서번호	Approval ID of the original invoice in eDocument Cockpit	Allowance documents only — blank for standard invoices
ManageNo	관리번호	Always blank	Reserved for internal company use

Part 2 – Seller Information (공급자)

All fields are sourced from Business Place master data (Activity 104040). The only difference between Option A and Option B is which Business Place record is read.

PDF Field	Korean	Option A – Default	Option B – Issue in Name of Headquarters
VAT Reg No.	사업자등록번호	Source document Business Place → Tax Number 2	Head Office Business Place → Tax Number 2
Company Name	상호	Source document Business Place → Name	Head Office Business Place → Name
RepreName	성명	Source document Business Place → Representative Name	Head Office Business Place → Representative Name
Address	주소	Source document Business Place → Address (City + Street)	Head Office Business Place → Address (City + Street)
BP No.	지점번호	Blank	Source document Business Place value
Type Of Ind	업태	Source document Business Place → Industry type	Head Office Business Place → Industry type
Type of Bus.	종목	Source document Business Place → Business type	Head Office Business Place → Business type

Note on BP No.: In Option B (HQ selected), BP No. shows the source document Business Place value — not the Head Office Business Place. In Option A, BP No. is always blank.
Example: Source document Business Place = BP4310, Head Office Business Place (KR_MBP) = BP9000. Submitting with HQ selected → Company Name/Address come from BP9000, but BP No. displays 4310.

Part 2 – Buyer Information (공급받는자)

PDF Field	Korean	Option A – Default	Option B – Issue in Name of Headquarters
VAT Reg No.	사업자등록번호	Customer country-specific data	Customer country-specific data
Customer Name	상호	Customer country-specific data	Customer country-specific data
RepreName	성명	Customer country-specific data	Customer country-specific data
Address	주소	Customer country-specific data	Customer country-specific data
BP No.	지점번호	Blank	Customer country-specific data → BP Number
Type Of Bus.	종목	Customer country-specific data	Customer country-specific data

Part 3 – Invoice Date, Amounts, and Remark

PDF Field	Korean	Source	Notes
Invoice Date	작성일자	Accounting document → Posting date	Format: YYYY/MM/DD
Base Amount	공급가액	Accounting document → Net amount	Taxable amount before VAT
Tax Amount	세액	Accounting document → Tax amount	VAT amount
Amendment Reason	수정사유	Standard invoices: blank. Allowance/amendment: Amendment Reason ID + Description	e.g., “01 - Price Correction”
Remark 1	비고 1	Option A: blank. Option B: <Name> + <City> + <Street> of the source document Business Place	Always reflects the source document Business Place, not the Head Office

Note on Remark 1: Even when Option B (HQ) is selected, Remark 1 always shows the source document Business Place details.
Example: Business Place Name = “삼성 삼성전자판매(주)서초점”, City = “서울”, Street = “강남구 강남 대로” → Remark 1 displays: 삼성 삼성전자판매(주)서초점 서울 강남구 강남 대로

Part 4 – Line Items (항목)

FI Invoice (standard — no special item):

PDF Field	Korean	Source	Value
M / D	월 / 일	Invoice date → Month / Day	e.g., “07” / “24”
Description	품목	Fixed value	“All Items”
Dimes	규격	—	Always blank
Qty	수량	—	Always blank
Unit Price	단가	—	Always blank
Base Amount	공급가액	Accounting document	Total net amount
Tax Amount	세액	Accounting document	Total tax amount
Remark	비고	Fixed value	“All Items”

Result: Always a single row.

FI Invoice with special item:

When the FI document’s text field contains item data in the format {Description},{Dimes},{Qty},{Unit Price},{Base Amount},{Tax Amount},po:{Remark}, each comma-separated segment is parsed into a separate PDF column.

Example — text field value iphonex,750x,10,909.1,9091,909,po:99887272:

PDF Field	Korean	Parsed from	Example Value
M / D	월 / 일	Invoice date	07 / 24

Dimes	규격	Segment 2	750x
Qty	수량	Segment 3	10.00
Unit Price	단가	Segment 4	909.1
Base Amount	공급가액	Segment 5	9,091
Tax Amount	세액	Segment 6	909
Remark	비고	Segment 7 (after “po:”)	po:99887272

SD Invoice:

Condition	Line Item Behavior
≤ 99 items	All items displayed individually, matching the sales order lines
> 99 items	Items 1–3 shown individually; Item 4 = sum of all remaining items, Description = fixed value “Other Items”

Allowance / Amendment (SD-based):

Condition	Line Item Behavior
≤ 4 items	All items displayed individually
> 4 items	Items 1–3 shown individually; Item 4 = sum of all remaining items, Description = “Other Items”

Part 5 – Payment Summary (금액)

Cash	현금	Always blank	Only Account Receivable is supported
Check	수표	Always blank	Only Account Receivable is supported
BoE	어음	Always blank	Only Account Receivable is supported
Receivable	외상미수금	Same as Total Amount	Always equals Total Amount
Receipt/Billing	영수 / 청구	eDocument Cockpit → Billing or Receipt column	The matching value is displayed in bold
