3787391 - Cannot update plant on purchasing info records - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

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

  1. Open Change Purchasing Info Record.
  2. In the header selection, use the dropdown for user and enter a material to display the info record without selecting a plant.
  3. Navigate to the Purchasing Organization 2 view.
  4. 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

  1. 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).
  2. If the old plant-specific record is no longer needed, remove it from use:
  3. Set the Deletion Indicator in ME12, or
  4. End its validity by adjusting the validity dates in ME12.
