SAP Note 27814 - Ordering or contract address ignored when printing

Symptom:

Although an alternative ordering address is specified in the purchasing document (under Owner -> Partner) (in the contract it is an alternative contract address), the address of the vendor (EKKO-LIFNR) is printed.

Cause and prerequisites

Possible causes:

1. The partner function which is used as ordering address is not allocated to the (hard-coded) internal partner function 'BA' allocated (for the contract address this is 'VA').

2. The customer uses his own print program in which the source code added to 3.0 that determines the alternative address is missing.

Solution

1. This can be set in Customizing: Transaction WOLP, Partner functions, Environment -> Function conversion. The internal function description is entered on the left, the external (language-specific) one is entered on the right.

2. The corresponding part of routine LESEN in standard print program FM06PF01 which determines the alternative address must be added to the customer-specific print program
