3735716 - Requested Delivery Date copied from quotation to sales order cannot be suppressed on header level – S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

• When a Sales Order is created with reference to a Quantity Contract, the Requested Delivery Date from the Quotation is automatically copied to the Contract and then to Sales Order header.
• Requirement that the Requested Delivery Date on Sales Order header should be blank by default, so that users can manually select the appropriate date in the Sales Order. 

• Is there any standard BAdI, enhancement spot, or configuration available in SAP Public Cloud that allows:

  1. Suppression or clearing of the Requested Delivery Date on Sales Order header when created with reference?
  2. If not, is there any recommended workaround or best practice to achieve this behavior?
  3. Alternatively, is it possible to:
     1. Make the Requested Delivery Date non-mandatory in the Quotation, or
     2. Prevent the field from being copied to the Sales Order header?

• Product: SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
• Extensibility (Public Cloud)

1. Create a sales quotation.
2. Create a quantity contract with reference to the quotation.
3. Create a sales order with reference to the quotation or the quantity contract.
4. Observe that the Requested Delivery Date is copied to the sales order header and cannot be left blank or suppressed during creation.

• Standard system behavior: the Requested Delivery Date is inherited from the reference document to the sales order header, with no option to suppress it at header level.
• No standard BAdI or configuration exists to modify or clear the Requested Delivery Date at sales order header level in Public Cloud.

• There is no such BADI to modify header - request delivery date. 
• Additionally, it is not possible to leave this field on Sales Order header as blank.
