3702655 - Actual efforts are not updated in "Manage Project Demand" app

Symptom

The recoded time is not updated as actual effort in the "Manage Project Demand" app when the cost center of the assigned employee differs from the cost center defined in the demand.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Create a resource demand with cost center X
  2. Assign an employee from cost center Y to the demand
  3. Employee records time against the demand 
  4. The actual effort in the "Manage Project Demand" app is not updated accordingly

Cause

The WBS Element, Activity Type, and Cost Center used for the posting must align with the data defined in the demand. If any value for actual postings does not align with these preconditions, the actual effort will not be displayed in the "Manage Project Demand" app. 

Resolution

Check the actuals in the "Project Cost Report" app. For the actuals to be displayed in the "Manage Project Demand" app, ensure that the WBS Element, Activity Type, and Cost Center used for the posting align with the demand data.
