IJ47584: WHEN PO LINES ARE RENUMBERED, THEY END UP POINTING TO WRONG PR LINES

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
  1. Go to Purchase Requisitions.
  2. Create a new PR.
  3. Add 5 new PR Lines:
      -Line 1:
           Line Type: Material
           Description: pr line 1
      -Line 2:
           Line Type: Material
           Description: pr line 2
      -Line 3:
           Line Type: Material
           Description: pr line 3
      -Line 4:
           Line Type: Material
           Description: pr line 4
      -Line 5:
           Line Type: Material
           Description: pr line 5
  4. Approve the PR.
  5. Go to Purchase Orders.
  6. Create a new PO.
  7. From More Actions, click Copy PR Line Items to PO.
  8. Filter the PR from step 2.
  9. Check every line box from that PR and click OK.
  10. Go to PO Lines tab.
  11. Change the the value from the Line field from every row:
  (let them error out)
      -Line 1 (pr line 1)->Line 5 (pr line 1)
      -Line 2 (pr line 2)->Line 4 (pr line 2)
      -Line 3 (pr line 3)->Line 3 (pr line 3)
      -Line 4 (pr line 4)->Line 2 (pr line 4)
      -Line 5 (pr line 5)->Line 1 (pr line 5)
  12. Now that you have a red "X" next to every Line field (except
  for line 3, of course), see that all of them had their values
  rolled back to what they were before. Without trying to save,
  make a new set of changes: (in this exact order)
      -Line 1 (pr line 1)->Line 55 (pr line 1)
      -Line 2 (pr line 2)->Line 44 (pr line 2)
      -Line 3 (pr line 3)->Line 3 (pr line 3)
      -Line 4 (pr line 4)->Line 2 (pr line 4)
      -Line 5 (pr line 5)->Line 1 (pr line 5)
      -Line 55 (pr line 1)->Line 5 (pr line 1)
      -Line 44 (pr line 2)->Line 4 (pr line 2)
  13. Save.
  
  RESULT:
  Some PO Lines end up referencing the wrong PR line after saving,
  making some PR lines unreferenced while others are referenced
  twice.
  eg:     -Line 1 (pr line 5) pointing to PR Line 1  (wrong)
      -Line 2 (pr line 4) pointing to PR Line 2  (wrong)
      -Line 3 (pr line 3) pointing to PR Line 3  (right)
      -Line 4 (pr line 2) pointing to PR Line 2  (right)
      -Line 5 (pr line 1) pointing to PR Line 1  (right)
  
  
  EXPECTED RESULT:
  PO to keep its lines referenced to the right PR lines.
  
  
  REPORTED IN VERSION:
  TPAE 7.6.1.2
