Summary :
During contract processing in SAP, a bug causes the loss of 'sold-to' and 'ship-to' partner designations (AA/AW) upon saving the document. Relevant for transactions like VA41, VA42, and VA4x, the issue lies within a program error. A fix has been provided in Release 4.5B, along with an advance correction available for implementation. Note 163073 must be applied concurrently to avoid severe performance issues and incorrect updates of the partner index VAKPA during SD document updates.
