Symptom
While creating new WBS element in App Project Planning the WBS element ID is not getting auto generated.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud
Reproducing the Issue
- Open App Project Planning.
- Select the Project/Wbs Element and Click on Create.
- WBS element ID is empty.
Cause
The coding mask value is maintained in such a way that there is No scope to create next ID.
Whenever a Child/WBS element is created in a project, to get the ID auto filled or for next ID generation it checks whether there is any further scope to create the next ID using it's parent name.
For Example : If a project is created with A/XX/00/00/00/00 coding mask, then project ID will be created as A/XX because after A/XX there is "/" separator and
the WBS ID will be created as A/XX/00 and it's child as A/XX/00/00 and so on. In this case 4 children can be created using this project ID
Resolution
Maintain the coding mask pattern properly for the project.
