SAP Note 202173 - ME21: Info record update indicator/user parameter

Component : Purchasing -

Summary :
In SAP environments, the default setting of the InfoUpdate indicator within purchase orders occasionally does not reflect Customizing settings managed in transaction OMFI, specifically under the EVO parameter settings. This misalignment often results from the absence or presence of an info record. When an info record exists, the system looks up customization settings in table T160V to either overwrite or suggest values ('A', 'B', 'C') for the Info on Update indicator. If there is no info record, the default value is dictated by pre-established Customizing, which might remain unaltered ('A'), depending on additional user parameters and entries. The resolution requires rectification in Customizing settings within OMFI, considering whether plant-specific conditions and info records exist.

Key words :
plant-specific conditions, info update indicator, info record exists, infoupdate indicator 'a', infoupdate indicator entry, 'blank' infoupdate indicator, user parameter evo, purchasing info record, info record, infoupdate indicator
