3787419 - GR/IR invoice posting missing sales order assignment while goods receipt

In advanced intercompany sales, purchase order items are assigned to a sales order. When posting the goods receipt, the Sales Document and Sales Document Item are correctly populated in accounting. 

When posting the supplier invoice, the GR/IR GL account entries are created without the Sales Order assignment. This causes an apparent mismatch when analyzing GR/IR balances by Sales Order.

1. Post the goods receipt for a purchase order item assigned to a sales order in an advanced intercompany sales flow.
2. Observe that the accounting document for the goods receipt contains the Sales Document and Sales Document Item.
3. Post the supplier invoice for the same purchase order item.
4. Observe that the GR/IR GL account entries in the invoice document do not contain the Sales Order assignment.

Account Assignment Category M (individual customer order) is used for sales order stock procurement.

Goods receipt needs the Sales Document reference to post into the correct sales order stock segment, so the GR side carries Sales Document and Item.

During invoice verification, the GR/IR debit references the PO’s account assignment data, but the sales order reference in category M is not treated as a CO assignment object; therefore, the Sales Document/Item is not carried to the GR/IR line in the invoice.

This is standard system behavior; the net GR/IR clears correctly at PO line level even if the invoice side lacks the Sales Order assignment.

Acknowledge that the missing Sales Order assignment on the invoice-side GR/IR posting for Account Assignment Category M is standard behavior.

Verify that GR/IR clears correctly at the purchase order line level once goods receipt and invoice are matched; any perceived mismatch is limited to the Sales Order reporting dimension.

Use the Reconcile GR/IR Accounts app (F3302) and the Clear GR/IR Clearing Account app (MR11) to review and handle open balances as needed.

If having the Sales Order on the invoice-side GR/IR line is a strict business requirement, submit an enhancement request via the influence portal.
