Scenario 1 - Cause 1: It is maintained a different e-mail address in "General tab" and "Communication tab > Collaboration subtab" in Supplier Master Data. System will always give priority to the e-mail address which is maintained under Collaboration sub-tab in Supplier Master Data.

Scenario 1 - Cause 2: It is maintained 'Send To' checkbox only for Buyer Responsible in the Business Configuration activity: Purchase Order Output Control Settings -> E-mail ID Settings for Purchase Order Output. Consequently, for any newly created purchase orders, only the Buyer Responsible for the Purchase Order can receive the e-mail as per the setting. E-mail will not be sent to the Supplier.

Scenario 1 - Cause 3: The Output settings can be temporarily changed just for one output via the button You can also - Edit Output Settings for Create PO. Once this output is sent, the settings revert back to the default. The editor of the Purchase Order has changed the Purchase Order Output settings to another address, which can be seen in the Output History tab.
