3797524 - Ship-to Party Missing from the Billing Document API Response in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

When retrieving a billing document from SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition using the Billing Document API through SAP Integration Suite (CPI), the Ship-to Party information is missing from the API response.

The Ship-to Party is maintained in the relevant business process; however, it is not available in the to_Partner section of the Billing Document API response.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

1. From SAP Integration Suite (CPI), execute the Billing Document API: /sap/opu/odata/sap/API_BILLING_DOCUMENT_SRV/A_BillingDocument('<BillingDocument>')?$expand=to_Partner
2. Review the to_Partner section of the API response and notice that the Ship-to-Party information is not available

Ship-to Party is not maintained at the billing document header; it is maintained on the outbound delivery. The Billing Document API returns the partner functions that are maintained in the billing document.

To ensure that the Ship-to Party is displayed at the billing document header level, add the Ship-to Party partner function in the Partner Determination for Billing Header configuration by following the below steps:

1. 1. Go to Manage Your Solution app
   2. Go to Configure Your Solution
   3. Search for Set Up Partner Determination for Billing Header
   4. Maintain Ship to Party information for invoices
   5. After adding the Ship-to Party partner function, create a new Billing Document.
   6. Verify that the Ship-to Party is available at the billing document header level.

Note: This configuration change applies only to newly created Billing Documents. Existing Billing Documents will not be updated with the Ship-to Party automatically.
