PO header field 'Your Reference EKKO-IHREZ' get changed with value ".." (2 dots) automatically

[ericsj]

HI,

We delete the Purchase order line item without triggered the output message and save the PO with transaction code ME22N.

However on the next day, we noticed that the purchaer order header field  Your Reference (EKKO-IHREZ) get automatically change to value ".." (2 dots) and few second later removed  the ".." automatically by the system.

Anyone encounter this before why this happen and please help .

If you have SAP GTS in use it could be the program /SAPSLL/MM0A_OBJSSF_PROCESS_R3 triggered based of the fact that your document was checked and released in GTS which caused the /SAPSLL/OBJSSF table to be populated for the purpose of updating its blocked/released status.

Hi together,
we faced the same problem, after our S4 upgrade.
The reason was a job, that was executing program /SAPSLL/MM0A_OBJSSF_PROCESS_R3.
And this program has additional coding after the upgrade. That was causing the ".." change entries in
the purchase orders. But even worser, due to the change, the purchase orders got send out again to the supplier....
However:
Here the OSS note:
https://me.sap.com/notes/3479709/E

Here the note to fix it:
Hinweise - SAP for Me

Best regards

Hi Jörg;

Hi Jörg, How did the fix with created on helped you?

Every goods receipt for one item seems to trigger again an entry in the table. So you can have lot's of entries.

@BenjaminB - Hi Benjamin, I've to admit, that we didn't run the program since the OSS-Note is implemented. The program is only running, when the S4 or GTS have been down. Do you run it daily? BR Jörg

[BenjaminB]

After GTS was done, we run normally /SAPSLL/DS_I_MM0A_R3 .

The other report is periodically used to close documents on gts side, when they are completed - or to process follow on functions after a release.

First point, you need to identify with which user this data been changed(change log), later you identify the processes in system which are involved in changing the order...As mentioned by Priti, this is happening from custom development, detail analysis may required, Take ABAP's help

[jagdeepsingh83]

if you can see the changes .. you can also see the user id who made the changes .. Ask him or if that user id is used in certain jobs/interface . then jobs/interfaces are responsible ..

Hi,

You can always have the change log for the documents created when changed automatically or manually.Please open the PO header changes and find any logs over there for the change and who changed it and when changed . Or try the tables CDHDR and CDPOS for po change transaction for the PO and for the date you observed.

Can you able to see the header changes log for this ?

SAP will not changes any data itself. If it got changed automatically, then there must be some custom enhancement which is changing the field.

Hi

Please check if any development is done in header for value in reference field as with dot value. Check with your abaper. Or if any screen variants are used?

Regards,

Priti.

Hi Matthias, long time ago - but did you find a solution?how you can clear the tree on the left side from ML81N?

[SMJBAL]

Sorry - wrong question

[RaymondGiuseppi]

Look like a custom development if only custom fields are updated, so Abaper added a dummy update of some standard text field, and reset it in a second call?
