Cause
In the Business configuration work center under scoping questions, the question is not scoped. Do you want to copy notes & attachments from sales order header to purchase request header in third party processing?
If this business option is selected, notes & attachments from sales order header will be copied into purchase request header. On creation of purchase order from such purchase requests, notes & attachments would be copied from purchase request root to purchase order header. In this case, if the purchase order has items from multiple sales order, user would not know the sales order reference from which the notes & attachment was copied.
If this business option is not selected sales order header notes & attachments will be copied to purchase request item. Same is transferred to purchase order item during creation of purchase order from purchase request. This implies that sales order header notes & attachments will be present in each of the purchase order items leading to multiplication of attachments from sales order to purchase order.
