Summary :
This SAP Note addresses discrepancies observed in the update behavior of info records based on the Info Record Update indicator (EKPO-SPINF) settings in Purchase Documents. When processing Purchase Orders, Contracts, or RFQs, the update of the info record might coincide with the document handling depending on EKPO-SPINF values. EKPO-SPINF assigns specific behaviors such as no update, update with or without plant considerations. Additionally, the note elaborates on simplified mechanisms in Enjoy transactions (like ME2xN), linking checkbox status directly to specific EKPO-SPINF values and further dictated by the existence of info records and Plant Condition Control settings from customizing in transaction OMF0. The info record update logic for combinations of EKPO-SPINF and plant condition settings is detailed, ensuring correct application in various scenarios.
