In the ship-to section

Cause
The ship-to party from the purchase order picks up the data from the corresponding location. The location gets created after creating the organization unit to it. In this case it was the organization unit XYZ.
Once the location has been created there is no update activity between the organization unit and the location.
If any new field is updated in the organization unit at a later date, it will not update the location as they are two different entities.
Hence it is very important to make sure that the organization unit has the correct address details and all data at the time of organization unit creation.
Resolution
The system is working as designed
