Symptom
- After a plant is renamed and its address is updated, older material documents display the new plant name and address.
- Expectation is that historical material documents keep the original plant name and address from the time of posting.
- The behavior is observed when viewing historical material documents in the material document overview app.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Open the Material Document Overview app.
- Filter by a plant that was recently renamed or had its address updated.
- Execute the search and open historical material documents.
- Observe that older documents display the current plant name and address instead of the original values.
Cause
- The Material Document Overview app is based on CDS view F_MMIM_FINDMATDOC, which holds the plant identifier at document level.
- Descriptive plant attributes (such as name and address) are not stored on the material document; they are read dynamically from the plant master via CDS view I_Plant.
- After a plant rename or address change, the app resolves and displays the latest plant name/address from the master data for all documents, including historical ones.
Resolution
This is expected system behavior: the Material Document Overview app reads plant name/address from current plant master data (CDS I_Plant), so historical documents will display the latest plant name and address.
