1917199 - Automatically Populate Ship-To Location or Site in the Purchase Order Line Items

Symptom

How to make the system automatically default the 'Ship-to Location' or the 'Site' when creating the Purchase Order.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Purchase Request and Orders work center.
  2. Navigate to Common Tasks view and choose the option 'New Purchase Order'.
  3. Click in View All button.
  4. Navigate to General tab. 
  5. Enter the mandatory information. 
  6. Navigate to Items tab.
  7. Click in Add Row button.
  8. Enter the product information. 

Ship-To Location ID or Site is not being populated automatically by the system.

Cause

Please refrain that this is only valid for To-Stock items.

In the Org Structure, the company has to have only one Business Residence maintained. Even more than one business residence is maintained, the Ship-To is not defaulted.

The Business Residence has to be also marked as Ship-To in the "Supply Chain Design Master Data work center - Locations view".

Resolution

Submit your new requirements on Customer Influence Forum using the link: https://influence.sap.com/sap/ino/#/campaign/886

Also currently if there are any blocked sites existing, then system still considers them and thus cannot default the site in such case as well, but developers are going to fix this in one of the future releases.
