3784142 - Change Duplicate Invoice Check From AND to OR Condition For Supplier Invoices

Symptom

  • The duplicate invoice validation currently raises a warning only when all four fields match: same vendor, same invoice date, same invoice amount, and same reference (invoice number).
  • Request to change the validation so that when the vendor is the same, a warning appears if any one of these matches: invoice date, invoice amount, or reference (invoice number).
  • No specific error messages or error codes are mentioned.

Environment

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

Reproducing the Issue

Cause

  • The standard logic flags a duplicate only when all configured fields match at once (an “all-of” rule); there is no “any-one-of” option.
  • The configuration lets you choose which fields are checked, but cannot change the relationship from “all-of” to “any-one-of.”
  • Vendor, currency, and gross amount are always part of the duplicate check and cannot be disabled.
  • If “Check Double Invoice” is not selected on the supplier, no duplicate check is performed for that supplier.
  • Invoices created via automated interfaces are not duplicate-checked.

Resolution

  1. Note that there is no standard capability to change the duplicate invoice validation logic from an AND condition to an OR condition.
  2. Submit a feature enhancement request to product management via the Customer Influence Portal. Refer to: 2963059 - How to Submit Feature Requests for SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition.
  3. When submitting, include a detailed business description of why the OR-based duplicate check is required.
  4. If applicable, plan compensating controls for invoices posted via automated interfaces, as these are not duplicate-checked in standard. Refer to: 3687026 - No Duplicate Invoice Check for API Posting.
