Symptom
- Some fields are blank in the custom CDS view which is built on the datasource I_WBSELEMENTDATA.
- Fields such as "Last Changed On", "Basic Start", and "Basic Finish" are missing for certain WBS elements.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Create a custom CDS view using the datasource I_WBSELEMENTDATA.
- Query the CDS view for WBS elements.
- Observe that fields such as "Last Changed On", "Basic Start", and "Basic Finish" are blank for certain WBS elements.
Cause
- I_WBSELEMENTDATA is only released for use in certain analytical apps. It does not contain complete data for all WBS elements.
Resolution
- Replace the usage of I_WBSELEMENTDATA with I_EnterpriseProjectElement as the datasource for the CDS view.
- Only use I_WBSElementBasicData for WBS elements in cases where foreign key associations are needed on old internal IDs such as WBSElementInternalID.
- Verify the data in the new CDS view to ensure all required fields are populated correctly.
