Sap Sale Module: RE:[sap-log-sd] Address change in already billed sales order

Hi Typewriter,

Thanks for your time and help. It looks like your system behaves exactly like I would ours to do.

In the meantime I had opened an OSS message but so far their (our 1st-level support, which is a contract partner with SAP) feedback is "our SD Consultants confirm that the system works as designed and no change of the address in the delivery note is suppose to happen". Quite the opposite of how your system works.

So it looks like the search for the needle in the haystack...where does SAP make the decision whether to update the follow-up documents or not? I don't see any settings in the IMG nor was I able to track this down via trace.

Thanks again for your time and the testing you did. It is greatly appreciated! I will mark your answer as helpful.

Marc

Subject: Address change in already billed sales order

Hi experts,

Our business department needs to change address data of two sales orders that are already billed. For both the invoices were cancelled and then the address of the ship-to changed manually in the sales order.

Only for one order the address change shows in the delivery note.

I checked table VBPA and saw that the address-number for the sales orders (ship-to) are now flagged with "E" instead of "D" and a new number (starting with "9") is assigned in the address field (in ADRC the new number shows the corrected address). Checking the same for the delivery note only one shows the new number in the addressnumber field.

I tried to replicate this in my development system but there the address is never changed in the delivery note, so no chance to get to the source using a trace.

Can anybody tell me where or how SAP determines whether the address has to be adjusted for the follow-up documents of a sales order?

Thanks in advance

Marc
