Symptoms

When a purchase order is dispatched, the PO_HDR.LAST_DTTM_UPDATE field is not touched. It remains it's original value even though the PO was updated to Dispatched.

Steps to recreate the issue:
1. Identify a purchase order that is approved with a PO Date a few days before test day.
2. Query PO_HDR and verify the LAST_DTTM_UPDATE value.
3. Dispatch the PO using any dispatch method.
4. Query the PO_HDR and note that the PO_STATUS was updated to D (Dispatched) but the LAST_DTTM_UPDATE is not updated.
