3772342 - Using API to query delivery header details returns null of field 'deliverydate' when time of field 'Delivery Date' is removed in delivery header - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

The DeliveryDate field of inbound/outbound delivery returns null in the API response when the time is removed from field 'Delivery Date' in delivery header, even though the date remains valid.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

1. Remove time of field 'Delivery Date' in inbound/outbound delivery header.
2. Query the delivery via API (for example, using API_INBOUND_DELIVERY_SRV or API_OUTBOUND_DELIVERY_SRV) and observe that DeliveryDate is null in the response.

The OData service exposes a combined timestamp (Edm.DateTime) derived from separate database fields for date and time. If the time field is blank, the framework cannot form a valid timestamp, so the computed DeliveryDate is initial and the API returns null. This is expected, by-design behavior.

If time is not needed for the business process, set a default non-empty time value instead of deleting it.
