3607838 - Commitment Updates on Cost Center Despite Lock Indicator Enabled in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

Commitments on cost center are updated even though the 'Lock Commitment Updates' indicator is enabled in the app 'Manage Cost Centers'

Environment

SAP S/4HANA CLoud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Activate cost center budgeting.
  2. Activate the "Lock Commitment Update" option in all cost centers.
  3. Observe that the system treats all cutover POs and PRs as commitment items and consumes the current year cost center budget.

Cause

Resolution

Currently on public cloud, the Lock Commitment Updates indicator doesn’t have any effect on the creation of commitment, it has only effect on the reporting. In detail:

The Lock Commitment Updates indicator in the relevant cost center master data is not selected if you want the commitments assigned to them to be included in your reporting.
