Symptom
- The WBS elements under the main hierarchy do not have a 'Person Responsible' or 'Project/WBS Manager' field.
- This absence causes the Supplier Invoice Workflow to default to the main Project approver, instead of routing to specific cost centers or individuals responsible for the WBS elements.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Open the "Project Control - Enterprise Projects" application.
- Enter the project ID in the search bar and select the project.
- Navigate to the related application - "Project Planning".
- Expand the drop down to view the WBS elements below the main hierarchy and observe that there is no 'Person Responsible' or 'Project/WBS Manager' field.
Cause
- The 'Person Responsible' or 'Project/WBS Manager' field is not a standard field available in SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud Edition. It is expected system behavior by design.
Resolution
- Utilize app extensibility to add a custom field for the responsible person.
- Refer to the SAP documentation for guidance on app extensibility:
