3533520 - Organizational Unit Not Displayed in Employee Times Report

Symptom

Employees are organized into teams according to the organizational structure and assigning them to organizational units works as intended. However, the 'Employee Times' report does not reflect the 'Organizational Unit.' Although the data source includes both the cost center and reporting line unit, these may not correspond to the organizational unit.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Business Analytics workcenter
  2. Go to Data Sources view
  3. Search for Employee Times 
  4. Select Add Row Field and notice that the 'Organizational Unit' field is not available for selection.

Cause

As per the technical limitation, it is not possible to add the "Organizational Unit" field in the standard "Employee Times" Data Source. 

Resolution

The Standard Data Sources offers some standard fields to be used for reporting. Such fields (characteristics and key figures) are extended and visible in the Data Sources embedded in the system. However, not all fields available in the UI are published to Data Sources due to technical designing.

Our recommendation is post this as an enhancement idea over our Influence platform.
