3217304 - Unable to Escalate Manually Created Business Task

You notice that, as time passes and a manually created task becomes overdue, system does not create a escalation for it and there is no way to manually trigger a escalation either.

SAP Business ByDesign

Manually created tasks are ad hoc tasks that are completely predefined and lack the necessary backend definitions to produce a escalation.

The only actions which can be performed with manually created tasks are Change Priority, Complete, Forward, Add Attachments etc.

This is the standard system behavior.

You can post a request for improvement to this onto our SAP Business ByDesign Continuous Influence session, which is reviewed by our Product Management teams when deciding which functionalities to add and/or enhance in future product versions. Additionally, you can check the feasibility for achieving this through a custom solution by either reaching out to your implementation partner or contacting our SAP Innovative Business Solutions team as follows:

1. If you are a partner: please use cloudsolutionpartner@sap.com or the Partnerfinder.
