On Sales order document it is possible to enter a negative amount for the net amount, but we are looking for a way to enter a negative amount for the net amount on purchase order document as well as on sales order document.

--- Steps to Reproduce ---
1) Access the application "Create Purchase Order Advanced".
2) Enter the supplier and material.
3) Enter the amount to be minus.
4) Net amount is automatically calculated.
5) Error messages appear as shown on the screen.

However, an error occurred when a negative amount was entered for the net amount in the registration of a purchase order document...

Hello Shibatay,

I miss some context in your question but I can show the main possibilities in this case.

I assume that you want to process an credit memo by the vendor, this is why you need negative amount?

In this case, you need to set the return items indicator in the position line. This cause an negativ amount for qty and value.

In case of an negative amount for only returning goods with credit memo, you can use the free of charge indicator.

The last main case could be, you need to return the goods without credti memo, then you need to set both indicators. This often happens when the financial things are already cleared and you only want to send the goods out without any value posting.

Best Regards

Dennis

Dear @shibatay, Thanks for these details provided, a negative price is not supported in S4HC system now.
