3756431 - BAPI_CONTRACT_CREATE does not retain field IDNLF without purchase info record - SAP ERP & SAP S/4 HANA

• When creating a purchase contract using BAPI_CONTRACT_CREATE, the field Supplier Material Number (EKPO-IDNLF) is provided in ITEM and flagged in ITEMX (ITEMX-IDNLF = 'X'), but it is not retained in the saved contract when no Purchase Info Record (PIR) exists.
• When a PIR exists, the value is correctly taken over into the contract.
• In transaction ME31K, a manually entered Supplier Material Number is retained even without a PIR.
• During debugging, method IS_VALID of class LCL_R_IDNLF is called twice per contract item; the field is set on the first call and reset on the second.
