Symptom
You upload the Plan Data for Expenses and Income Statement, and in the template, you enter the project task ID; but error "Project Task is only supported in Business Bydesign Public Sector Edition" occurs while saving data to the system.
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign.
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to Cost and Revenue Work Center.
- Go to Planning View.
- Click New->Plan Version from Microsoft Excel.
- Select New Expense And Income Statement Plan and click Download.
- Open the Excel and enter all necessary data including Project ID, then logon to SAP Business ByDesign in the Excel.
- Click Save data to ..., error "Project Task is only supported in Business Bydesign Public Sector Edition" occurs.
Cause
It's a valid error - project tasks are not supported in the private edition for budget planning, only in the public sector edition.
The basis of active budget control for projects differs:
- Public Sector -> Financial planning is required / the project task cost estimate does NOT serve as basis for active budget control.
- Non-Public Sector -> Project task cost estimate.
To check the edition of the system, you can:
- Go to Business Configuration Work Center.
- Go to Implementation Projects View.
- Select currently project and click Edit Project Scope.
- In the first step, you see the Type of Business is not Public Edition.
Resolution
Current system design.
