SAP Business ByDesign

1. Open the Report: Sales Order Volume (CRMSLOIB_Q0001).
2. Select Sales Order ABC (where ABC stands for sales order).
3. Add the field "Preceding Opportunity".
4. You can see the field shows not assigned.

6. Navigate to Document Flow tab.
7. You can see the preceding Opportunity is EFG (where EFG stands for opportunity) and the preceding Sales Quote is XYZ (where XYZ stands for sales quote).

The report you are reviewing is an item based report looking for item details.

The behaviour here is because when a manual reference is added to a document, we do not populate this reference to the item references. We only populate to the header document.  When a reference is created out of a backend business process flow, there are dependent references that will be created for the items, but adding a manual reference is different and the current design will not allow for this.

Currently the behaviour you are seeing is expected behaviour.
