Symptom
You have several purchase orders for a particular supplier. You change the name of the supplier in the supplier master data.
When you run the report 'Purchasing Documents by Material' (ME2M) the new name is reflected on some but not all of the purchase orders.
Environment
SAP S/4Hana Cloud - All Versions
Reproducing the Issue
1) Run the report 'Purchasing Documents by Material' (ME2M) for your supplier
2) Change the name of the supplier in maintain business partner (BP)
3) Run the report 'Purchasing Documents by Material' (ME2M) again for your supplier
4) The new name appears but not on all PO's
Cause
The system will always take the supplier name from the supplier master (LFA1) in general, however if
there is a manual address in the purchase order this will take priority in the report.
