3519451 - Not able to change the status of a WBS Element

Symptom

User is unable to change the status of a WBS Element, after opening its Details using app 'Project Planning'.

"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 Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Open app 'Project Control - Enterprise Projects' and search for a project;
  2. Select 'Related apps' > 'Project Planning';
  3. Click in 'Edit';
  4. Select any WBS Element in order to open its details;
  5. Notice that it won't be possible to change the Processing status of the WBS Element.

Cause

Once an user selects a WBS Element in the 'Project Planning' app to check its details, the system opens a different extension - named 'WBS Element (F3799)'.

However, since it is only possible to change the status of a WBS Element in the 'Project Planning' app, the 'Processing status' field won't be editable/selectable.

Resolution

To change the Processing Status of a WBS Element, users can select the element in app 'Project Planning', click in Processing Status and choose the desired status.
