2847476 - Sold-to Party is not open for input with API_SALES_ORDER_SRV

Symptom

Adding partner function SP to the payload for API_SALES_ORDER_SRV results in error; 'Field CUSTOMER is not an input field'.

Environment

  •  Sales and Distribution (SD)
  •  Logistics Execution (LE)
  •  SAP S/4HANA Cloud All versions 

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Select API - API_SALES_ORDER_SRV.
  2. Using the POST method for generating a Sales Order, include the following within the payload:

"to_Partner": {
"results": [
{
"PartnerFunction": "SP",
"Customer":"1010003"
}

    3. Executing the API service results in error: 'Field CUSTOMER is not an input field'.

Cause

The sold-to Party within the 'Partners' function is not open for input. The sold-to party is already provided within the header data using entity set A_SalesOrder - SoldToParty.

Resolution

This is the standard system behaviour. The sold-to party has already been provided - Partners such as payer and bill-to are determined based on the sold-to entered at Sales Order header level.

The 'Configuration Step' 'Set Up Partner Determination for Sales Document Header' - 101288, also does not allow for the sold-to field to be made changeable, since this would result in incorrect system behaviour.
