5. Set the Info Update checkbox and save.
6. Display Info Record again, with the same parameters.

Standard system behavior.

The supplier material number is updated from the PO only when the field is blank in the Purchasing Info Record. If a value already exists in the Info Record, changing the supplier material number in a new PO will not update the Info Record.

Manually update the field Supplier Mat. No. in ME12 (Change Info Record) or Manage Purchasing Info Records directly in the Info record itself.

Note: The Info Update checkbox in the PO will only populate Supplier Mat. No. when the field is blank in the Info Record; it does not overwrite an existing value.
