TPS65987D: PP_HV1 as a Source Path

Part Number: TPS65987D

Dear Support Team,

I am using the TPS65987DDH as a DFP and have configured both PP_HV1 and PP_HV2 as Sources. The 5V, 9V and 15V rails are sourced from a DCDC converter, whilst the 20V rail is sourced directly from the system power. 

See attached image with schematic.

 

The device is configured to source 20V from PP_HV1.

I am however having issues with this setup. It negotiates a power contract for 5V, 9V and 15V OK, but it doesn't negotiate a power contract for 20V. 

Can you please tell me where I may b going wrong?

The datasheet "recommends" that PP_HV1 is used as a sink but it doesn't give a reason and the configuration tool allows you to setup PP_HV1 as a source. 

I'd appreciate any help you can provide on this subject.
