These are two different things in SRM.

While doing a Central Confirmation in SRM the Requisistioner and Goods Recipient fields are picked up from respective Business Partners in the Shopping Cart or SRM PO

The respective fields in a ECC PO are transferred as text values to ECC PO and not from SRM SC or PO Business Partners.

thanks for your reply virender. the partners are present in the SC and the PO.

Hi Antish

If the partners are present , these should be copied over to respective fields in COnfirmation. I hope you are creating Central Confirmation with reference to the PO which is properly updated in the follow on documents of the SC.

Did you check partners and partner functions in BBP_PD for SC and PO

Here's the scenario:

the recipient and the requestor have been changed .

assuming initially i had:

requestor a / recipient a. which were replaced by requestor b / recipient b.

requestor b / recipient b are present in shopping cart and purchase order.

However, they are not appearing in central confirmation.

I think this is SAP standard. i debugged and saw that in FM bbp_pdh_bup_filter_by_proc_typ, the requestor a/ recipient a are assigned a delete indicator.

however SAP sorts the internal table and appends the data but does not take into consideration the delete indicator.

thus, it gets requestor a / recipient a instead of requestor b / recipient b.

partner data correspond to requestor b / recipient b in bbp_pd.
