Symptom
- Changes made to a purchase order line item's delivery date are not reflected because the corresponding item action code is missing in the Change PO outbound XML.
- The supplier does not receive the updated delivery date details in the edi message.
- The issue can be replicated in a lower environment.
Environment
- SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
- Enterprise Services in Purchasing (Public Cloud)
Reproducing the Issue
- Create a standard purchase order with a full EDI supplier integrated via an external network (for example, Supply ON).
- Change the purchase order line item delivery date.
- Check the outgoing Change PO XML; the item action code is missing.
Cause
- By current design, when the delivery date is changed, the item-level action code is not returned as "02" and remains blank in the Change PO XML.
- When schedule lines or account assignment fields are print-relevant, the item action code may also be blank.
Resolution
- This is standard system behaviour.
- For downstream processing, refer to the header action code as per the current design.
