Attachment missing in Reprocessed Invoice idoc

We are implementing DSN in couple of projects. The Design is such that, Suppliers are allowed to Invoice for the complete PO Qty ( even though the GR is not yet processed).

Hence, when the Supplier submits the Invoice, the Invoice iDOC to S/4 HANA fails with 51 error ( Invoice line not selectable) error. Please note that the CIG as well as iDOC segment has the attachment segment available in them.

Once, the business does the GR, we can reprocess the idoc via BD87 OR via Scheduled Job. The Invoice is created successfully, however the Attachment does not show up in the MIRO Screen. It seems to have gone lost in transit.

Attachment is successfully showing up for Invoices that come into S4HANA without error. Missing Attachment is only occurring for iDOCs that are being reprocessed. This same issue is consistent across both the clients. Request your technical expertise on how we can being back the lost attachment while reprocessing the iDOC

Hey Anand,

This is a known limitation . Failed IDOCS when reprocessed won't carry the attachment .Re-processing the documents from the transaction tracker to mitigate the issue is the best possible workaround at the moment. Would recommend creating a customer influence request on connect.ariba.com .

Thanks,
Dencil

Hello Dencil,

- If this is a limitation, is there some ABAP solution that anyone has implemented that can help retrieve the lost attachment?

Thanks Dencil. Will raise a customer Influence Request. Also, if you can help with custom ABAP programs that have been able to resolve this issue. that'd be great
