Symptom
In the SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition app My Purchase Requisitions – F1639A, when a user creates a new purchase requisition, the Description field at the header level is automatically populated with the requisitioner’s name followed by the current date.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Open the Fiori App My Purchase Requisitions.
- Create a new purchase requisition.
- Observe that the Description field at the header level is automatically populated with `<User Name> <Current Date>`.
- Attempt to clear the Description field manually.
- Save or refresh the requisition.
- Observe that the system re-fills the Description field with `<User Name> <Current Date>`.
Cause
In SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, the Description field in the “My Purchase Requisitions – F1639A” app is hard-coded to be automatically populated with `<User Name> <Current Date>`.
Resolution
This behavior is implemented in the UI logic of the app and is intended to provide a quick identifier for each purchase requisition. The field is not configurable using In-App Extensibility or key user adaptation.
