2168608 - SAP User Made Changes in Purchase Order

Symptom

The Purchase Order was modified by a SAP user on a specific date. You want to understand why.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Purchase Requests and Orders Work Center.
  2. Navigate to the Purchase Orders View.
  3. Search for the Purchase Order and click on it.
  4. Click on View All button.
  5. Go to the Changes Tab, there will be a change in date XX.YY.ZZZZ, done by Technical User (SAP_SYSTEM).

Cause

The user is typically associated with existing automatic runs in the system. For instance, if an automatic run is executed to create invoices, the Purchase Order log will show that the user SAP_SYSTEM created it. The logs in the Purchase Order are linked to the creation of the Supplier Invoice PQR, which was created through an Evaluated Receipt Settlement Run scheduled to run weekly.

Resolution

The system behavior is correct. To confirm this, please follow the steps below:

  1. Go to the Supplier Invoices Work Center.
  2. Navigate to the Evaluated Receipt Settlement View.
  3. Change the filter to show All Runs.
  4. Select the Run, you will see that it created the invoice XXXXX.
