Update Requestor and Goods Recipient in Purchase Order/Shopping Cart

Question

Hello guys,
we have created a Z program that transfers objects Purchase Order/Shopping Cart from one user to another.
In our Z program we transfer the CRMD_PARTNER-PARTNER_NO, ADDR_NR and ADDR_NP from the old user to the new user.
Also in CRMD_ORDERADM_H and CRMD_ORDERADM_I we change the field CREATED_BY from the old user to the new user.
The problem we have seen is that in header position in SRM portal we see the old user in Requestor and Goods Recipient, and in table CRMD_PARTNER the PARTNER_NO is the new user, Another strange thing is that if we see detailed position of the Purchase Order we see the new user in Requestor and in Good Recipient.
In resume, we see different things in position that in header. Could it be possible? We are doing wrong the update?
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Xavier.

Hello Xavier,
If partner "Requester" and/or "Goods Recipient" is different between PO items and there was previously a "Requester" and/or a "Goods Recipient" at PO header, after your update, partner at header level should have field CRMD_PARTNER-DISABLED set: "Requester" and /or "Goods Recipient" is active at header level only if the same partner is populated for all PO items.
Concerning SC, there is no "Requester" and/or "Goods Recipient" at header level.
Be that as it may, if you use function modules BBP_PD_PO_UPDATE,  BBP_PD_PO_SAVE and BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT, modifications will be OK (do not forget to not populate table I_PARTNER for partner at header level if partners are different at item level).
