Purchase requisition item details in My inbox app : No description of Procurement Data

[Ludovic_BRIAND]

Hello,

Is there a possibility of having the descrption of the fields displayed in the section "Procurement Data" of an item of a purchase requisition ?

In this section, we just have the codes of the purchasing organization (For example 1210), the plant and the purchasing group. We don't have the description of theses codes (For example : Purchasing Org 1210 for the code 1210).

This behaviour happens in the fiori apps F1640 (Purchase Requisition) and F0862 (My Inbox, only for purchase requisition).

In my inbox, for the approval of purchase order, we have the code and the description of the same fields so why is it not possible for purchase requisition ?

Thanks

Hi, 

Thanks for reaching out!

In SAP S/4HANA Cloud, the display of field descriptions in the ‘Procurement Data’ section of a purchase requisition item is determined by the standard system design. Currently, the system only displays the codes for the purchasing organization, plant, and purchasing group, and does not display the descriptions of these codes. This behavior is consistent across the ‘Create Purchase Requisition’ (F1640) and ‘My Inbox’ (F0862) Fiori apps.

In contrast, for the approval of purchase orders in the ‘My Inbox’ app, both the code and the description of these fields are displayed. This is because the display of field descriptions in purchase orders is considered more critical for the approval process.

As of now, there is no standard configuration or customization option available in SAP S/4HANA Cloud to display the descriptions of the purchasing organization, plant, and purchasing group in the ‘Procurement Data’ section of a purchase requisition item. If this is a critical requirement for your business, you may consider raising an improvement request through the SAP Influence Portal: https://influence.sap.com/sap/ino/#/campaign/1167
