Symptom
You might realize a discrepancy between the number of results shown for Production Task data source or report faces created on the top of this data source, with the total number of Tasks in the Task Control UI.
Reproducing the Issue
Steps to check the tasks number in the Task Control list:
- Go to Production Control Work Center
- Go to Task Control View
- Select All Production Tasks by Selection
It shows XXX tasks.
Steps to check the tasks number in the Task Control list:
- Go to Business Analytics
- Go to Design Data sources
- Open Production Task data source
The counter shows a smaller number of records in comparison with the number of tasks shown in the Task Control list.
Cause
The Task Control list shows the total count of tasks in the system, whereas the data source shows the aggregated values of materials in the task.
For example: if there are 4 input material for one task there are 4 count in data source and one in task control.
You may also note if in your system, you have tasks which are intermediary tasks and does not have input materials. This also can be a cause for having a lesser number of records (counter).
Resolution
As conclusion, there is no discrepancy, this is an expected behavior which is based on usage.
