3284657 - Supplier name in APP Purchasing Documents by Material (ME2M)

Symptom

 Several purchase orders exist for a particular supplier. The name of the supplier is changed in the supplier master data. When the report 'Purchasing Documents by Material' (ME2M) is run, the new name is reflected on some but not all of the purchase orders.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Run the report 'Purchasing Documents by Material' (ME2M)
  2. Change the name of the supplier in maintain business partner (BP)
  3. Run the report 'Purchasing Documents by Material' (ME2M) again
  4. The new name appears but not on all PO's 

Resolution

This is a Standard system behavior.

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.
