3783321 - Manage Purchase Contracts app does not show PR item text after conversion to contract - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

  • In the Manage Purchase Contracts app, the Purchase Requisition item text is not shown in the contract item; instead, texts related to the Purchasing Info Record (PIR) are displayed.
  • When checking the same contract via WEBGUI APP (ME3*K), the PR item text appears as expected, but not in the Manage Purchase Contracts app.
  • No error message is displayed.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Create a Purchasing Info Record and add a text.
  2. Create a Purchase Requisition (PR) with reference to the Purchasing Info Record (PIR) and add a text in the “Item text” field.
  3. Convert the PR into a Contract.
  4. Open the contract in the "Manage Purchase Contracts" app.
  5. Select the item and review “Item Text” and “Info Record PO Text” fields; both fields show texts related to the PIR, and the PR item text is not shown in the contract item text.

Cause

Incorrect/missing configuration for Contract copying rules.

Resolution

  1. Open SSCUI 104066 (Define Copying Rules for Item Texts in Contracts) in "Manage your Solution" app.
  2. Select "Item Text".

  3. Identify the text linkage for copying item texts to contract items (for example, PR item text to contract item text).
  4. For the relevant source Info Record, set the Fixed Indicator to “*” instead of “N” and for Purchase Requisition, set it to “ ” (blank).

     5. Save and transport the configuration as applicable.
     6. Re-test by converting a PR to a contract and check in the "Manage Purchase Contracts app":

    • “Item Text” should now show the PR item text.     

       

    • “Info Record PO Text” should show the PIR text.

       

Reference adoption behavior:
1. “ ” (blank): texts are copied directly to the target document.
2. “*”: texts are displayed in the target document and can be transferred; manual changes are transferred automatically.
3. “N”: texts are displayed but cannot be transferred (the field is locked).
