3802663 - Payee/Payer (alternative payee) field not visible in Manage Recurring Supplier Invoice (F4312) app - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

  • In the Manage Recurring Supplier Invoice (F4312) app, the Payee/Payer (alternative payee) field is not visible or available when creating and saving a recurring supplier invoice.
  • Unable to assign an alternative payee maintained in supplier role FLVN00 (Supplier (Fin.Accounting)).
  • No error message is displayed.

Environment

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

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Start the app Manage Recurring Supplier Invoice (F4312).
  2. Create a new recurring supplier invoice.
  3. Enter the required information.
  4. Save the recurring invoice.
  5. Observe that the Payee/Payer (alternative payee) field is not available.

Cause

  • The recurring invoice app is a template tool with a reduced field set and does not include an alternative payee field; this is delivered as designed.
  • The payment recipient is determined during payment. If a standing alternative payee is maintained on the supplier master record, payments are routed there automatically.

Resolution

  1. Note that adding a Payee/Payer field to the Manage Recurring Supplier Invoice (F4312) app is not supported; this behavior is as designed.
  2. If the same alternative payee should always receive payments for a supplier, maintain the alternative payee on the supplier’s master record in the financial-accounting payment details for each relevant company code.
  3. Before operational use, run a payment proposal and verify that:
    • The payment is directed to the intended alternative payee.
    • No unintended payments to that supplier are redirected.
  4. Ensure segregation of duties: do not allow the same user to both change supplier payee details and run payments.
  5. If different recurring invoices for the same supplier must pay different alternative payees, this is not possible in standard:
    • Enter those specific invoices as normal (non-recurring) invoices where applicable.

Alternatively, submit a feature request via the Customer Influence channel to request document-level payee selection in the recurring invoice app.
