3635862 - date function behavior in "manage date functions" app in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

  • The date function created by the "Manage Date Functions" app uses UTC-based date/time.
  • Discrepancies observed between the Development and Production environments when running the "Post Derived Business Transactions" job.
  • The TPM18 job does not process trades as expected in the Production environment when executed automatically.
  • Manual execution of TPM18 with the Test Run flag processes trades as expected.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Navigate to the "Manage Date Functions" app (F2595A).
  2. Create a date function and configure it for use in the "Post Derived Business Transactions" job.
  3. Execute the "Post Derived Business Transactions" job automatically in the Production environment.
  4. Observe that the job does not process trades as expected.
  5. Execute the TPM18 job manually with the Test Run flag in the Production environment.
  6. Observe that trades are processed as expected.

Cause

  • For a Date Function, the Simulated Date section displays both the server-based and the user-based dates. The base date is determined by the current date of the specified server or the local system.

Resolution

  1. Confirm that the date function created in the "Manage Date Functions" app uses UTC-based date/time.
  2. Adjust the configuration of the date function to align with the expected date/time behavior in the Production environment.
  3. Test the "Post Derived Business Transactions" job in the Production environment to ensure trades are processed as expected.
  4. Monitor the job execution to verify consistent performance across environments.
