Symptom
- In SD documents, partner data for Employee partner functions (e.g. Employee Responsible, Sales Employee) is inconsistent between systems in the landscape:
- 2-tier landscape: Data differs between Quality and Production systems.Affected fields include Person Number, Address Type, and Address Number.
- 3-tier landscape: Data differs between Test/Starter and Production/Development systems. Affected fields include Person Number, Address Type, and Address Number.
- The following CDS views return inconsistent or incorrect Employee partner data when compared across systems:
- I_SalesDocumentPartner
- I_SalesDocumentItemPartner
- I_BillingDocumentPartner
- Address fields exposed via the Sales Document UI or API display incorrect or inconsistent data for Employee partner functions when compared across systems.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Cause
During the CE2608 upgrade, SDM (Silent Data Migration) was executed, migrating employee data to the SD Partner table. The migration was subsequently rolled back for both Production and Development system upgrades.
Resolution
SAP is working on a long-term solution to establish consistency across all landscape tiers. Please refer back to this KBA for the latest information and updated timelines.
