Symptom
When creating a PO with reference PR, or create PO in Create Purchase Order - Advanced(ME21N), these Partners are missing.
- Although Partner Roles (PI, OA etc.) have been maintained in the Maintain Business Partner(vendor master), these same Partner Roles cannot be copied to PO when creating the PO with reference PR.
- Adding these Partners to the created PO afterwards and saving does not work either, these are blanked / reset.
