Symptom
- The “Net Due date” column is empty when added to the invoice during scanning.
- The due date is present on the invoice document but is not extracted.
- The net due date becomes visible only after the invoice is posted.
- Issue observed in the production system but not in the test system.
- No error message is displayed.
Environment
- Product: SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
- Logistics Invoice Verification (Public Cloud)
Reproducing the Issue
- Add the “Net Due date” column to invoices while scanning incoming supplier invoices.
- Observe that the column remains empty although a due date exists on the invoice document.
- Post the invoice and observe that the net due date becomes visible only after posting.
Cause
- The Net Due Date is calculated by design only upon/after posting, based on the baseline date plus net payment days from the assigned payment terms; before posting the column remains blank.
- Payment Terms are missing on the invoice prior to posting; the scanner detected textual terms on the PDF but could not map them to a valid system payment-terms value, and a scanned date alone is not converted automatically to payment terms.
Resolution
- For each affected invoice, open the full edit view, go to the Payment tab, enter the correct Payment Terms, and verify the baseline date under normal review controls.
- Set a default Payment Terms value in the supplier master so future invoices inherit it automatically; confirm in your system whether this default flows through the automated scanning route.
- To prioritize invoices by approaching due date, post the invoices first, then open the posted supplier items app, add the Net Due Date column, and sort by it. Pre-posting worklists cannot be ranked by due date; this is a product limitation.
- If using Central Invoice Management, confirm due date visibility on your specific screens before relying on it; the standard supplier-invoice app shows due date on the Payment tab once terms are set.
- If reminders are needed, enable the standard due-date reminder for posted and blocked invoices; for other cases, regularly monitor the posted list sorted by Net Due Date.
