Symptom
When user searches for a purchase requisition in the 'Search' filter of Manage Purchase Requisition- Professional app, the system returns several documents instead of returning only the specified document.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Open the Manage Purchase Requisition app.
- Search for a PR using the 'Search' filter.
- System displays more documents than expected.
Cause
When using the 'Search' filter, the system searches for the specified value in several fields, such as purchase requisition number, purchase requisition item, material number, plant, purchasing group and purchasing organization.
A fuzzy search enables a certain degree of error tolerance, so the system return a list of documents that meet the specified criteria, considering possible additional/missing characters or other types of spelling errors.
This is a standard system behaviour.
Resolution
If user wants to search for a specific purchase requisition, the 'Purchase Requisition Number' filter should be used.
