SAP Business ByDesign: Issue with PO Reference Overriding

@katrin_gruber and  @dieter_haensch2 I submitted this question two weeks ago; no response, hence the reason for tagging the product experts.

Scenario
We have a customer (Customer AB) with four Purchase Orders (POs) across two years:

2024:

Document A (Aug 2024) – PO Ref: 1234
Document B (Nov 2024) – PO Ref: 1234
Document C (Dec 2024) – PO Ref: 1234
2025:

Document D (Jan 2025) – PO Ref: 5678 (PO reference changed)
Issue:
When generating an Excel report from SAP, all four documents (A, B, C, and D) now display the new PO reference 5678, even though documents A, B, and C were originally associated with PO reference 1234.

While the invoices remain unchanged, the end user wants documents A, B, and C to retain PO Ref 1234, while only document D should reflect 5678.

Query:

  • Is there a standard way in #SAP Business ByDesign to prevent PO reference updates from overriding historical records?
  • Are there any workarounds or settings in the report generation process that could help retain the correct PO references per document?

Thanks in advance!
