SAP Business ByDesign

NOTE: Third-party Purchase Order is created from a Purchase Request which is created by a Sales Order.

1. Go to Purchase Request and Orders work center.
2. Go to Purchase Order view.
3. Search for required PO ID: ABC by using the filter "All Purchase Orders".
4. Choose Edit and go to items tab.
5. Select an item and go to Delivery sub-tab.
6. Here, the field "Recipient" with "Ship-to" location-XYZ in the Sales Order.
7. While trying to Edit the field "Recipient", it shows the list of employees instead of "Ship-to" location

(ABC refers to Purchase order ID, XYZ refers to Ship-to Location)

In a standard Purchase Order scenario, the field "Recipient" is used to maintain the employee who is responsible to receive the goods in that "Ship-to" location.

However, in Third-Party Order scenario, the "Ship-To" location of Third Party Sales Order gets copied in the field as "Recipient" along with the customer information.

This is an expected system behavior.
