3473054 - The Updated Ship-to on the General Tab Does Not Update to Item Level in Sales Orders

ABC, XYZ represents the business partner ID.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Sales Orders work center view.
  2. Open the sales order.
  3. In General tab, the Ship-to party is XYZ.
  4. Go to the Items tab, and select the item line, you notice the Ship-to party is ABC.

Cause

When creating a new sales order manually, the Ship-to on General tab will be copied into Item lines. If you change the Ship-to in the item line manually, then the further change made on General tab will not be updated into the modified line. 

When you creating a sales order copying it from an existing sales order, then system checks the header and item ship-to value.

  • If the header and item ship-to has same value, it is considerred as not modified, the change on header ship-to will be copied into item level. 
  • If the header and item ship-to has different value, it is considered as modified, then the change made on the header ship=to will not be copied into item level.

Resolution

This is the current system designed behavior.
