Cause
It is not possible to add or enhance Purchasing Notes through Migration for the existing Materials or using the Mass Data Maintenance tool, as this is currently a system behavior.
Resolution
It is possible to add Purchasing Notes when you are adding new materials using the migration of materials tool, however the modification or enhancement of purchasing notes for existing materials needs to be performed manually in SAP Business ByDesign systems.
