3446726 - How to show time-dependent hierarchy in app Group Data Analysis by choosing Key Date

Symptom

Even if multiple Hierarchy timeframe have been defined, the existing hierarchy don't change itself based on key date automatically in app Group Data Analysis.

Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud

Cause

In the Manage Global Hierarchies app, you now can define time-dependent consolidation financial statement item hierarchies (FS item hierarchies) by specifying a validity time frame (from/to date). In consequence, when these hierarchies are used you have to specify a key date to determine the proper hierarchy version to be used.

The filter "Key Date" will be used when selecting Hierarchy. "Valid on" equal to "Key Date" just like the screenshots showed.

For hierarchy RG_FSH9, the timeframe is set in app Manage Global Hierarchies, but the hierarchy would not be changed automatically by "Key Date".

Resolution

1. Choose proper Key Date and Fiscal Year Period;

2. Choose hierarchy from "select hierarchy" again.

3. Save it->  New hierarchy will be used.
