Hi,
Please update the MEDRUCK FORM in your system.Please see Note 214907 in regards to this.  Because of the changes in address management in the 46  releases, it is important that you update the MEDRUCK version in your system.
Also, please check the following in configuration:
Please modify your message determination:
MM->Purcasing->Messages->Output control->Message determination  schemas->Define message schema for PO->Assign Schema to Purchase Order
         'Fill in the Columns for 'T', 'M' 'P''
                                          4    X   X
If your addresss are set up in Central Address Management as set out below:
1. Entering a PO with NO change of delivery address:
If you enter a normal PO with no change in any delivery address, then In the PO Item, there will be a reference to the vendor address in EKPO-ADRN2; while EKPO-ADRNR will be blank.
This goes for ALL items in the PO!  Therefore it is regarded as the 'header'-level.
Looking in table ADRC (which is where CAM stores its addresses) via SE16 for the reference in EKPO-ADRN2, you will see the plant address. Note, this address has ADRC-ADDR_GROUP = 'CA01'.
2. Entering a PO with change of delv. address
Now, if you change the delivery address by typing in the address name or the street etc, you will save a new address in table ADRC.
In the PO Item, there will be a reference to the PO-specific address in EKPO-ADRNR; while EKPO-ADRN2 will be blank.
Looking in table ADRC for the reference in EKPO-ADRNR, you will see the adress you just entered.
Note, this address has ADRC-ADDR_GROUP = 'ME02'.
Here is a small overview of the different address group, their use, and where they are maintained.
- CA01  Customizing address, storage location or plant address, maintained using transactions OX09 and OX10.
- ME01  Delivery address maintained in the master data,
             Transaction MEAN (EKPO-ADRN2)
- ME02  Manually changed delivery address in PO item EKPO-ADRNR)
- ME03  Vendor address (EKKO-ADRNR).
So, the delivery address (at item level) is linked to the central
address management facility (CAM).
The vendor address (header level) is linked to CAM.
Address data is stored under an address number (key ADRNR) in the table ADRC.
In the case of the delivery address, the system accesses (displays) the address data via the following pointers:
- EKPO-ADRNR  (address entered manually in the item) or
- EKPO-ADRN2  (explicitly specified address number) or
- EKPO-KUNNR  (customer number) or
- EKPO-EMLIF    (receiving vendor)
In the case of the vendor address the system accesses the address data via the vendor master data:
- EKKO-LIFNR -> LFA1-ADRNR
I hope this information help you.
