Which feature can be employed if a supplier makes a mistake with quantities stated in their invoice?

When a supplier makes a mistake with the quantities stated in their invoice, employing a manual invoice reduction is an appropriate feature to use within the Sourcing and Procurement module of SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition. This feature allows the buyer to manually adjust the invoice amount to reflect the correct quantities received, enabling immediate rectification of the financial impact of the error.

Manual invoice reduction facilitates maintaining accuracy in accounts payable and ensures that payments align with the goods or services actually received. This is critical for upholding financial integrity and vendor relationships. By manually adjusting the invoice, the buyer can reconcile discrepancies promptly without needing to rely on external processes, streamlining operations and reducing potential delays in payment.

Utilizing this feature is especially helpful in scenarios where invoice disputes arise from errors that need to be resolved quickly and efficiently, thereby preventing further complications in the procurement cycle.
