Symptom
Supplier ID and Supplier Name Fields are empty for many of the Rows in the Process Purchase Proposals View within the Supply Control Workcenter.
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to Supply Control Work Center.
- Go to Process Purchase Proposals View.
- Filter by All Proposals by Selection.
- You will notice that there are many examples of Purchase Proposals that do not show any information for Supplier ID and Supplier Name.
Cause
The affected Proposals do not have a valid Source available.
When you open a Proposal that includes both the Supplier ID and Supplier Name, you will find the Source of Supply and the List Price maintained.
Conversely, if you open a Proposal that does not include the Supplier ID and Supplier Name, you will notice that there is no maintained Source of Supply.
Resolution
In order to resolve the issue ensure there is a valid Source of Supply for the Requirement Date. The System will pick the Source and maintain the Supplier ID and Supplier Name.
