Symptom

In "Edit Output settings for Created/Changed/Cancelled PO" the Purchase Order Form Template started displaying in Language ABC (ABC refers to Language. For example : English) instead of other preferred language.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Purchase Requests and Orders work center.
  2. Go to Purchase Orders view.
  3. Search with Purchase Order ID XYZ (XYZ refers to Purchase Order ID). 
  4. Choose Edit.
  5. Select "You Can Also" button.
  6. Choose "Edit Output settings for Created/Changed/Cancelled PO".
  7. Under Output Details.
  8. Language attribute displays ABC.

It is expected to display other Language instead of Language ABC.

Cause

  1. Go to Supplier Base work center.
  2. Go to Suppliers view.
  3. Search for relevant Supplier used in the Purchase Order XYZ.
  4. Select Edit.
  5. Select General tab, Search for Main Communications section.
  6. The Language attribute is empty or maintained with Language ABC.

If no language is maintained in Supplier Master Data then the system will use the logon language of the Business User during creation of the Purchase Order.

Resolution

Maintain the preferred language in the supplier master data under Main Communications section

For new purchase orders, in the "Edit Output settings for created PO", the preferred language will appear first.
