Symptom
The Employee Responsible is manually changed in the Sales Quote and when trying to create a follow-up Sales Order, the employee responsible is fetched from the Account Master Data and is not the one maintained in the Sales Quote.
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to the New Business work center
- View: Sales Quotes.
- Search for sales quote ABC (ABC represents the sales quote ID).
- Click on the Follow-up button and select Sales Order.
You will see that Employee Responsible is not the same as the previous document.
Cause
The system will check the rules and determine the responsible employee for the sales order based on the "Involved Parties for Sales Order" maintained in Business Configuration.
Resolution
This is expected system behavior.
To verify the determination rules, please follow these steps:
1. Go to the Business Configuration work center.
2. Select the Overview view.
3. In the search field, enter "Involved Parties for Sales Orders".
4. Select Employee Responsible and click on Maintain Determination button. Here you can view the active rules for determining the employee responsible in your system.
