This feature adds support for subsequent debit memos in ERP-initiated invoices sent to Ariba Network.

Debit memos are created/issued when invoices are undercharged or some costs were missed out during invoicing. When issuing a debit memo, suppliers request buyers to make additional payments to balance the cost incurred. Currently supplier posted debit memos are supported for line items that flow from Ariba Network to SAP ERP. However, when buyers post an invoice in their ERP on behalf of the suppliers, which is also sent to Ariba Network as copy invoice, for those cases, so far only credit memos are supported. Adjustments which needed to create a debit memo in the ERP were not sent from the ERP to Ariba Network.
Because of this, debit memos created in an ERP would result in a price adjustment with the invoice (item level). Without this in place suppliers would need to create an additional invoice which is ineffective and error-prone.

With this feature customers will be able to send debit memos as ERP copy invoices to Ariba Network to support One Invoice Portal. All Invoice Status Portal is designed to give a central view on all the invoices, and these subsequent debit/credit memos are frequently needed and important use-cases when it comes to invoices transactions for both the buyer and the supplier.
This feature adds the support of subsequent debit memo for a previously submitted Invoice. These types of transactions are now available to Ariba Network.
When All Invoice Status Portal is available for users, suppliers will benefit from the visibility on this additional transaction type enabled by this integration.
Suppliers/buyers don't have to create an additional invoices just to add/take out extra cost adjustments.
As a result of integrating this scenario customers will gain efficiency in the process, correctness in data, and consistency in their business transactions.
