BAN parameter in Purchase Requisition transactions

40 Views

Hi all,

briefly: in a 470 SAP system, the BAN parameter represents the banfn value of the purchase requisition the user's working on in ME5?N transactions.

There's however a behaviour that sounds (to me!) like a bug; if in ANY of these transactions I press the CREATE NEW button, then I can see that the field in the screen is correctly blank.. but the BAN parameter keeps the value of the last Purchase Requisition viewed/processed. This is an HUGE problem since the GET PARAMETER 'BAN' is then performed in many exits and may refer to an incorrect PR number. Can anyone confirm this "strange" behaviour please?

Just to understand if it's a problem related to some customization applied in this system or if this is the standard behaviour. I searched the Support Portal to find some notes on the argument but found nothing.
