Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  2. Select an Allocation Cycle 
  3. Go to 'Segment'
  4. Expand and select 'Receiver Basis'
  5. Could not find the field 'Var.Portion Type'

Cause

The reason why the cycle is not visible in the script is because the assessment’s localization plan cycle differs from the DE configuration, and the correct setting wasn’t applied.

  5. Next, move on to 'Senders' section, choose 'Edit' and 'Save' if needed, checking the correct 'Account Number Group' and 'Cost Center' used.

  6. Then, in the 'Receivers' section, choose 'Edit', 'Add' and the 'Add Receiver(s)' window opens.
