SAP Business ByDesign

1. Go to the Customer Invoicing work center.

4. Click on the Edit button.
5. The Employee HIJ is displayed in the field Employee Responsible (HIJ represents the name of the employee).
6. Go to the Sales Orders work center.
7. Select the Contracts view.
8. Open Contract EFG.
9. Navigate to the General tab.
10. In the Organizational Assignment section you can see that the Employee Responsible is KLM (KML represents the name of the employee maintain in the employee responsible field in the Contract) and the Contract Administrator is HIJ.

You expected that the Employee Responsible of the Contract is also determined as the Employee Responsible of the Invoice Request based on this Contract.

The Contract Administrator will be transferred from Contract to Customer Invoicing as the Employee Responsible for the Invoice.
Background for this is that in case of questions rather the Contract Administrator will be contacted.
This is also in line with the logic implemented for Service Confirmations confirmed for a Customer Contract. There the Contract Administrator is copied to the Processor of the Service Confirmation, which is then passed as Employee Responsible of the Customer Invoice.

For Contracts the Contract Administrator is determined as the Employee Responsible in the Invoice Request.
