3744705 - Manage Purchase Order App Shows Supplier Name In English Instead Of Chinese When Logging in Chinese

Symptom

  • In the Manage Purchase Order app, the supplier/business partner name is displayed in English instead of Chinese when the login language is set to Chinese.
  • The issue occurs even when the business partner has both English and Chinese maintained (including international address version).
  • No error messages are displayed.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Maintain a supplier/business partner name in both English and Chinese (including international address version).
  2. Log in with language set to Chinese.
  3. Open the Manage Purchase Order app.
  4. Observe that the supplier name is shown in English.

Cause

This is standard system behavior. 

Only the default supplier name maintained in master data can be displayed (if it's EN, then system only display supplier name in EN), instead of the international address version.

Resolution

  1. If a Chinese name must be displayed in Manage Purchase Orders app, please maintain the supplier’s default name in Chinese in the supplier master.
  2. The address/supplier name information are also available in CDS views: I_Supplier and I_address, if needed.
