Why do any changes to Purchase Order (PO) trigger a new IDoc to Ariba Network (AN)?
Question

When changing a PO on ERP side, system does not take into account the Fields Relevant to Printouts of Changes customizing to decide if a change message should be triggered or not, why?

Answer

When integrating POs with AN, all the change POs should be sent as new, that is why the process code set in the partner profile even for change messages will be always ME10.

To make sure the ERP PO and AN PO are always in sync, every minor change will be triggering the changing message, without taking into account the Fields Relevant to Printouts of Changes customizing.

Additional Information

Technically speaking, process code ME10 is processed by function module IDOC_OUTPUT_ORDERS, which is the one that creates the ORDERS (new POs) IDOC type.

Fields Relevant to Printouts of Changes are taken into account only by process code ME11 (function module IDOC_OUTPUT_ORDCHG), which is the one used to generate IDOC type ORDCHG and is not part of standard CIG > Ariba Network integration.
