Adding an item to Po doesn't trigger any output

Question

Hi gurus,
I need some help from you as we have an issue on changes on PO don't trigger any output.
I explain the process :
- user creates an SHC and then a PO is generated in approval status.
- PO is released and then a mail is sent to vendor (there is an entry in tx SPPFP). That works fine.
- a new item is added to PO and delivery date is changed. So it must be approved again by someone.
- PO is released but no mail is sent to vendor. No entry in transaction SPPFP.
I read a lot of messages on this forum about problems on triggering purchase orders. As I've seen, the usual problem is to avoid outputs when po is changed. My issue is the opposite.
I checked table BBPD_PO_METAOUT and there is an entry for BBP_PDIGP-DELIVED_DATE is output relevant.
We have condition-dependent document output customizing:
- Automatically scheduled
- Max. 1 Action for Each Action Definition
- Time of processing : when saving document
This is a ECS scenario, SRM server 550, support package SAPKIBKT08.
How can I fix this problem?  I guest standard behaviour must be to trigger output when changing purchase order.
Thanks for any help.
Regards.

Hello
Please check the follow
1)Please follow the instruction in the attached note 564826.
2)ANY change in the PO after it has been sent to vendor will generate
an automatic output.
You might want to either:
- Change your customizing settings so the PO output is not automatically
  sent to vendor.
- Or apply the following note so the system does not generarte an output
