Suzanne -

It's absolutely true, that if an OSS note changes something in a standard program, it DOES NOT make those same changes to other custom programs that have borrowed code from the standard one. It is completely up to you to make sure that while applying OSS notes, service packs, and enhancement packs, that you evaluate any changes that happened to code that you borrowed from, to determine if your copy needs the same changes. This is important enough that you should have a central log of all code copied, and that log should be consulted (and code analyzed) *every*single*time* a note, SP, or EhP is applied. SAP will fix their mistakes and improve on their solution - yours are up to you.

Subject: Troubleshooting PO via Email_Change Sender Name to PO Creator instead of PO Releaser

Hello MM'ers!

I've had OSS Note 561593 applied to our DEV box in order to make the PO creator (not the PO releaser) the sender (as seen in the "FROM" line) of the PO, which is emailed to the vendor. I realize this note is a system MOD, but this delivers exactly what our purchasing stakeholders would like i.e. creator of the order is the sender of the Email.

The actual emailing of the order and the core configuration is working fine with the PO via Email (transmission medium 5) But, there is no effect (no system behavior change) after applying the OSS note i.e. the sender of the PO via Email remains the releaser's name , NOT the creator's name of the PO.

Has anyone had any direct experience with this OSS note and, if so, hopefully you might share your success (or other experience)?

I should point out that, yes, like many, we are using a custom version of the print program (SAPFM06P) and also custom version of MEDRUCK. So, I'm wondering if we have 'commented out' some standard code from either of those, which 'nullifies' or 'blocks' whatever the OSS note code is trying to deliver.

Also, I should say we're on ECC 6.0 EhP 4 (no switches turned on) and our system is set to SMTP.

I'm a functional analyst, so I suppose I should have an ABAPer trace me in test?

Thanks very much!
Suzanne
