3805013 - Lease Contract Invoice numbering standard - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

  • Requirement to understand invoice numbering convention of invoices issued via 'Invoice for Rent' or 'Create invoices for lease contracts' apps for Contract and Lease Management
  • Looking for understanding on the available configuration options to customize invoice numbering

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Create an invoice for a lease-out contract via Apps 'Invoice for Rent' or 'Create invoices for lease contracts'.
  2. Observe that the invoice number is automatically assigned.

Cause

Invoice numbers for invoices created for Lease Contracts are pre-defined based on internal numbering logic.

Resolution

In Contract and Lease Management, the invoice numbering logic assigning the invoice numbers to the rent invoices are fix and there are no configuration paths available to customize them further.

The numbering logic follows the below numbering convention - the sequence always starting from the number '1' in a given fiscal year.

'CompanyCode'/'Sequential_number'/'Fiscal_year'

Example:

For the first invoice issued in open Fiscal Year 2026 for CoCode 1010 the numbering will be assigned as follows:

1010/1/2026

The fiscal year variable is always determined by the open fiscal year, not the calendar year - which may lead to a difference in case alternative fiscal year variants are utilized which do not follow the standard calendar year.
