Why do parked invoices (e.g doc. type, RE, DR) not display Cost-object Asign for offsetting-account?

[Eduard5]

When creating a supplier invoice in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, the Create Supplier Invoice app allows you to enter both the vendor line and the G/L offsetting line with Cost Object Assignment i.e. Cost center or Project WBS .
However, after choosing (Park), the related journal entry visible in Manage Journal Entries app shows only the vendor line, and none of the offsetting-account or cost-object information.

The following available parked-document CDS views did not display Offsetting Account data for Invoices:

• I_ParkedOplAcctgDocument – parked header (VBKPF)
• I_ParkedOplAcctgDocPyblsItem – parked AP items (VBSEGK)
• I_ParkedOplAcctgDocRblsItem – parked AR items (VBSEGD)
• I_ParkedOplAcctgDocGLItem – parked G/L items (VBSEGS)
• I_ParkedOplAcctgDocAssetItem – parked asset items (VBSEGA)
• I_ParkedOplAcctgDocItem – generic parked-item cube

For G/L-type parked documents, such as (SA), the system stores and exposes the offsetting-account and cost-assignment fields correctly.
But for parked supplier invoices (RE), none of these fields appear in either the journal entry or any of the released CDS views.

Why does SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition not store or expose the offsetting-account and cost-object information for RE-type parked invoices?

Is this because the system only performs a “light” save of the invoice until it is posted?
If so, is there any CDS view that can expose cost objects for RE-type parked invoices before posting?

Dear @Eduard5,

Question 1.

In Public Cloud a parked supplier invoice (document type RE) is not treated like a parked FI journal entry. For RE, SAP parks the MM supplier-invoice document (Invoice Verification object) and does not create the FI expense/G/L line items yet. Because those FI G/L line items don’t exist, they also can’t be stored in / exposed by the FI parked-document structures (VBKPF/VBSEG*) and therefore don’t show up in Manage Journal Entries or in the released I_ParkedOplAcctgDoc* CDS views.

SAP explicitly describes this as standard behavior and contrasts it with parked G/L journal entries where a full parked FI document is created immediately so yes what you’re seeing is effectively a light accounting representation on the FI side for parked RE invoices until posting, there are no FI expense postings to report (no debit lines, no CO assignments) only the supplier-invoice document data exists on the logistics/AP invoice object side

Question 2.

Is there any CDS view that exposes cost objects for parked RE invoices before posting? Not via FI parked-document CDS views because the FI G/L items do not exist yet BUT you can get the cost objects from the Supplier Invoice (MM) API / CDS layer, which is where the parked invoice coding is actually stored

Use the released supplier-invoice interface CDS views such as:

• I_SupplierInvoiceAPI01
• I_SuplrInvoiceItemGLAcctAPI01

Those are the right data sources for parked RE invoice cost assignment before posting
