We observe that the replacement of the Riemann curvature with the generalized Riemann curvature into the corrections to the type II supergravity at order $\alpha'^3$ which are in terms of the contractions of four Riemann curvatures $R^4$, is not fully consistent with the S-matrix elements in the superstring theory. In particular, they produce non-zero S-matrix elements for odd number of B-field strengths which are not consistent with the string theory results. Using the consistency of the couplings with the linear T-duality as a guiding principle, we consider all T-duality invariant couplings and fix their coefficients by requiring them to be consistent with the S-matrix elements. The new Lagrangian density is then equivalent to the replacement of the generalized Riemann curvature into the expression $t_8t_8R^4$.
