Supplier statement reconciliation means checking a supplier's vendor statement against the bills and credits in your books, so nothing is missing or paid twice.
What S/4HANA does on its own
The SAP help does not describe a supplier statement import or reconciliation. People compare the supplier account line items with the supplier statement by hand.
Setting it up in S/4HANA
- Get the supplier statement from the supplier.
- Display the supplier line items for the same period in the system.
- Tick off each statement line against an open or cleared item by invoice reference.
- List the lines that do not match.
- Ask the supplier about missing invoices, or check for unposted invoices on your side.
Good to know in S/4HANA
- S/4HANA has no statement import.
- Partner and add-on products cover statement reconciliation as a separate category.
- The match is by hand, so the invoice Reference field matters. Fill it in on every invoice.

Common questions
Does S/4HANA reconcile supplier statements?
The SAP help does not describe a statement import or reconcile screen. Teams compare supplier line items with the statement by hand or use an add-on.
Which field helps me tick off statement lines?
The invoice Reference field. Filling it on every supplier invoice makes the statement lines easier to match.
Can I see all open items for one supplier?
Yes. The supplier line items show open and cleared items, which you can compare with the statement.
How often should I reconcile statements?
Monthly for your biggest suppliers, before the payment run. Start with the suppliers you pay the most.
