Special handling line item-Ariba Network invoice

[AshishIncyte]

Hello,

We are facing issue with commodity code default on Ariba Network invoice when we add Special handling charge.

• When I add a special handling line on network invoice- it loads in B&I with commodity 78, even though Application.Invoicing.SpecialHandlingCommodityCode parameter has been updated to pick commodity 78121603
• But If I add a shipping line on network invoice – it loads in B&I correctly with commodity 7810, which matches with Application.Invoicing.ShippingCommodityCode parameter value 7810.
• Both 7810 and 78121603 have same parent 78.

I asked Ariba support, why there is different behavior for Special handling vs shipping line, see below response.

Based on your initial request, we have updated the commodity code for handling 78121603. We did not make any changes to the Shipping aspect as it follows standard functionality. If we do not alter the commodity code in the parameter system, it will default to a four-digit code. Additionally, if we modify any other standard commodity code, it will attempt to align with the parapet commodity code specifically for the network invoice only.

Does this make sense? Anyone else faced similar issue?

Thanks

Ashish
