In sites using goods receipt-based invoice verification, some supplier invoices with line items linked to multiple receipts were handled incorrectly in the SAP Ariba Buying and Invoicing. The invoice in SAP Ariba Buying and Invoicing showed different receipt-matching than the invoice cXML from SAP Business Network. Also, some matched receipts were missing from payment export.

Now, your site can be configured to respect the receipt-matching information from SAP Business Network.

This behavior is controlled by a new parameter, Application.Invoicing.RespectMatchedReceiptsFromAribaNetwork (set by SAP Ariba). The parameter determines if the invoicing solution uses the receipt information in SAP Business Network invoices when matching line items to receipts.

• If set to Yes, the invoicing solution matches invoice line items to receipts based on receipt information in the invoice.
• If set to No, matching is based on receipt information on the purchase order (PO). For invoices without receipt information, matching is always based on the PO. A setting of No can lead to unexpected results for PO line items with multiple receipts.

Action Required

If you're experiencing this issue, have your Designated Support Contact (DSC) submit a Case. An SAP Support will follow up to complete the request, setting the parameter
Application.Invoicing.RespectMatchedReceiptsFromAribaNetwork to Yes.
