The value is blank for the extension field.

There is an extension scenario in place from Material General Information to the Purchase Order. Therefore, whenever a change is made to the Material — such as accepting a deviation — the extension field retrieves the corresponding data from the Material Master Data.

This results in the value of the extension field being updated or overridden in the related Purchase Order. If the extension field appears blank in the Purchase Order, it indicates that no value has been maintained for that field in the Material Master Data.

There are two possibilities:

1) Deactivate the extension scenario.
2) Add the value of the extension field on Material Master Data level.
