When checking a Purchase Order, you realize that a SAP user made changes in a specific date.

Reproducing the Issue

  1. In the Purchase Requests and Orders work center, choose Purchase Orders view.
  2. Search for Purchase Order XYZ and click on it.
  3. Click on View All  button and then, select Changes.


There will be a change in date XX.YY.ZZZZ, done by Technical User (SAP_SYSTEM).

  1. In the Supplier Invoices work center, choose Evaluated Receipt Settlement view
