Change of BP name in BP Master to have respective change in open documents

[siewyuen_see]

Example, there is a BP Code A0001, BP name ABC Pte Ltd.

There are some sales order for A0001 with the name as ABC Pte Ltd.

There is a change in the BP name to ABC Trading Pte Ltd in the Business Partner Master.

Issue:

1) The open sales order still reflect the old name ABC Pte Ltd. The field is greyed and cannot be changed.

2) When create a Delivery Order based on Sales Order, the old BP name still reflects.

If try to change the name, a system message on 'Update document rows according to new BP's data'

Choosing Ye or No will show the new BP name, but the link to the base document Sales Order, and the Remarks are "deleted".

Change of BP name is quite common in every Industry, and yet in SAP there is no proper way that the change in BP name can reflect correctly for open documents.

Any workaround or SAP is resolving this issue in future patches for 2007???

hi,

When you change BP Master name changes will be refelcted only on new marketing documents,

no reflection on already created documents,even when u try to create delivery from sales order

only old BP name get copied to delivery.

This functionality is similar in any SAP products even in R/3.

If you want to change BP name,then cancel sales order.

Create a new sales order for required Business partner,then only changes made in BP master

will be effected in subsequent documents like delivery,ar invoice etc.,

Hope it clarifies.

What prasanna has suggested is a good option. After copying the SO to Delivery, change the name in the BP Name field and Press CTRL+Tab..this way SAP will accept the new name you entered

You can change the PLD to pull the name from the BP Master instead of the document. Then the printout will be correct, even if the wrong name is shown on the screen.
