PO Dates in US/EURO format mismatch

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have a regular PO being sent to the Vendor by FAX

The vendor is from US and our company is in US

1) Output preview of the PO shows the right date format i.e. MM/DD/YYYY

2) When the Vendor receives the PO via FAX the format is automatically changed to DD.MON.YYYY. Even the amounts on the PO are ending up in the EURO format i.e with commas

3) We are on SRM 5.0 and Extended Classic.

4) Looked at the vendor settings on SRM. Language shows English. Nothing unusual.

5) Additionally the Vendor is on Vendor List not that it should matter.

Any clues or settings by vendor that I should look at. Other vendors are fine.

Hi

Please Look in SU01 transaction for the Currency and date format maintained by BASIS for this Vendor user.

This information does not include the currency, date format, time zone of the vendor user. The currencies of the items in the shopping basket/po differ from the header currency in the shopping basket/po (= user default currency).

<b>Please try the following SAP OSS Notes, which will definitely help -></b>

<u>

Note 530618 - Incorrect conversion to vendor currency in purchase order

Note 970839 - Incorrect price in R/3 if currency & price is changed in SRM

Note 1000725 - Incorrect Currency Conversion for PO created from SC- ECS

Note 939042 - SRM5.0 SP5: Problems with output (medium, vendor data)

Note 1028388 - User settings for output medium is not saved.

Note 862864 - Fax data in output tab not refreshed.

Note 1026083 - Output: No details for medium FAX im vendor master record

Note 791321 - Unwanted name "Purchase order change" in order output

</u>

Do let me know.

Atul,

The notes did not help me. Basically I am facing two problems (SRM 5.0, Extended classic scenario)

1) Date in the Output Preview of PO shows in mm/dd/yyyy format. When the PO is ordered and sent via fax to the vendor in US for some reason the vendor receives he receives in dd.mm.yyyy format. This is a US based company, all the vendors are in US. This happens only for a couple of vendors(atleast for now).

2) On these POs, the amounts change to $99,95 whereas the amount is $99.95 in the output preview. The currency remains $.

What I already checked

1) Table BUT000 to ensure there are no special vendor specific setting

2) BBP_PD for the given PO and Shopping Cart that created this PO

What I am looking for

1) When sending the PO via fax, is there any intermediate table where it stores before sending via fax

2) Any specific process log I can look at which can give me any clue

Thanks for all the people who are spending time and helping others resolve issues.

Atul,

Your suggestion of looking at SU01 was helpful. Actually the system user which sends the fax had the wrong decimal format and date format. They are the defaults from installation.

Your help as usual is very appreciated.

Thanks

Ajay
