Symptom
- Unable to update the plant on purchasing info records uploaded.
- No option available to update the plant in the Purchasing Organization 2 view.
Environment
- SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
- Fiori UI for Manage Info Records (Public Cloud)
Reproducing the Issue
- Open Change Purchasing Info Record.
- In the header selection, use the dropdown for user and enter a material to display the info record without selecting a plant.
- Navigate to the Purchasing Organization 2 view.
- Observe that there is no option to update the plant.
Cause
- The purchasing info record key consists of vendor (LIFNR), material (MATNR), purchasing organization (EKORG), and plant (WERKS).
- Plant (WERKS) is a key field stored with other data becomes read-only after creation.
- Key fields cannot be changed; only non-key fields (such as prices, delivery times, tolerances) can be updated (for example via ME12).
Resolution
- Create a new purchasing info record with the required plant using ME11 (use the same vendor, material, and purchasing organization, but specify the new plant).
- If the old plant-specific record is no longer needed, remove it from use:
- Set the Deletion Indicator in ME12, or
- End its validity by adjusting the validity dates in ME12.
