Symptom
Settlement rule app opens in display mode for the WBS element of an investment project.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
1. Open an Investment project in the app 'Project Control -Enterprise Projects'.
2. Navigate to the 'Project Planning' app.
3. Navigate inside a WBS element and click on the option 'Settlement Rule'.
Resolution
When an investment project is created with Settlement Rule Maintenance as 'With Pass-Down Option' and Pass-Down Settlement Rule as 'Yes', all the WBS elements under it will inherit the settlement rules of the parent.
However when creating a WBS elements there is an option 'Pass-Down Settlement Rule', if it is set as 'No' then when you click on the 'Settlement Rule' option it will open in display mode as the settlement rules are inherited from the parent. If the same option is set as 'Yes' then it is possible to have own settlement rules for that WBS element and upon clicking on the 'Settlement Rule' option it will open in edit mode.
The option 'Pass-Down Settlement Rule' can only be changed when the WBS element is in 'Created' status and once it is released it cannot be changed.
