Symptom
After adding an Approval Note within the Sales Quote and refresh it, the note disappears.
Environment
SAP Cloud for Customer
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to Sales Workcenter.
- Go to Sales Quotes view.
- Open any Sales Quote.
- Go to Approval facet.
- Add a Note.
- Save it.
- Refresh the Sales Quote after a minute.
- You will see that the Note disappears.
Cause
As per the current behavior in SAP Cloud for Customer (C4C), when a Sales Quote is submitted and bidirectional synchronization is enabled, the approval notes associated with the quote are not saved.
When you submit a quote for approval with bidirectional sync enabled, that note stays with the approval workflow and is not saved as a permanent field on the Sales Quote.
Approval Notes Are Workflow-Specific:
- Approval Notes are part of the approval workflow context, not the core Sales Quote data model.
- They are intended to capture temporary approval-related comments during the approval process.
- These notes are not persisted as long-term transactional data in the Sales Quote object.
Resolution
This behavior is expected within the context of bidirectional synchronization in C4C.
