3833004 - Approvers cannot open invoice details from Supplier Invoice List (navigation not supported)

Symptom

  • Users who can approve supplier invoices in My Inbox cannot open the Create Supplier Invoice detail screen from the Supplier Invoice List app.
  • The Display Supplier Invoice app lacks search help for the initial document number entry, so users cannot practically look up invoices.
  • Error message: "Navigation to this application is not supported."

Environment

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

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Open the Supplier Invoice List app (F1060A).
  2. Attempt to drill down to the Create Supplier Invoice detail screen (F0859) from the invoice list or details view.
  3. Observe the error: "Navigation to this application is not supported."

Cause

  • The user’s role lacks the access route (business catalog) required to open the invoice detail application from the list.
  • Approvers configured only for approval have no navigation path to the invoice detail, so the system blocks the drill-in with the stated error.
  • There is a single invoice detail screen; whether it opens in display or edit mode is determined by assigned business catalogs.

Resolution

  1. Assign the view-only business catalog to the approver role: SAP_MM_BC_INV_DOC_DSP_PC (Materials Management – Invoicing Document Display). Preferably add it to a copy of the role and transport per governance.
  2. Test with one user: open Supplier Invoice List (F1060A), search an invoice, and drill down. The invoice detail should open in display-only mode.
  3. Verify authorization boundaries: confirm the same user cannot post, change, reverse, or delete invoices.
  4. If drilling into detail still does not open in your setup, provide the Supplier Invoice Items by Account Assignment app to allow searching and viewing line items (including export).
  5. Do not use the “Navigate to Manage” link inside that items app, as it targets the editing application and will cause the same navigation error without edit permissions.
  6. Do not use the Manage Supplier Invoices Centrally app for this scenario (it is for a different central process).
  7. Note: Display Supplier Invoice – Advanced can show an invoice only when the document number is already known, and it has no search help for initial entry.
