Missing purchaser code in reports

Hello everyone,

We have noticed a strange issue in our Business Central SaaS environment during the last couple of days.

The "Purchaser Code" field is still populated correctly in the Purchase Order header, but it is no longer displayed when printing purchase documents.

We have verified the following:

The "Purchaser Code" field contains a valid value in the Purchase Order.
The issue affects all report layouts (Word and RDLC).
The field was printing correctly until a few days ago.
No changes have been made to the report layouts.
We are using Business Central SaaS (Online).
The issue appears to be related to the report dataset rather than a specific layout.

Has anyone recently experienced a similar issue with the "Purchaser Code" field in purchase reports?

Is there any known Microsoft update, regression, or reported issue that could cause this field to stop appearing in reports while still being populated in the source document?

Any feedback or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much.

Hello,

I would first confirm this from the report dataset by printing the PO and using Send to > Microsoft Excel Document (data only); if Purchaser Code is missing there, then the issue is before the Word/RDLC layout and not layout-related. Also check Report Selection - Purchase to confirm the expected report ID is still being used and no extension/custom report replaced it. Since it started suddenly in SaaS and affects all layouts, I would raise a Microsoft ticket with the environment version, report ID, document no., screenshot, and data-only Excel output. I cannot confirm a public known Microsoft regression from the available docs, but this behavior should be treated as dataset/report execution related, not a normal layout issue.
