Symptom
When a non-admin user exports Discount/Price List Items using Data Workbench, the exported file contains fewer records than shown in the UI preview.
Environment
SAP Cloud for Customer
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to Data Workbench work center.
- Go to Export work center view.
- Select and expand "export Price List" --> Select Internal price list/Dscount List --> In the filter put filter "PriceDiscountListID" "Starts With" "DE_".
- Click on next.
- In Next page - Total Records = 294 showing.
- Note : No value showing under "Internal Price/Discount List Items" pane.
- Click on "Export Data" (After successfully export pop up message)
- Now, Go to Monitor WCV.
- Open the file once the status show finished.
- Issue or Actual behavior : Downloaded excel records are showing 24 only.
- Expected behavior : Download excel file total record should show 294.
Note: for other fields filter and export issue is not reproducible.
Only with Field "PriceDiscountListID" "Starts With" "DE_" this issue is occurring.
Cause
During Data Workbench export, the system performs a backend join between:
Discount/Price List Items and Price List Headers
Non-admin users have restricted visibility to headers based on Release Status.
✔ Allowed header statuses for non-admins:
1 – Draft
3 – Active
❌ Restricted status:
5 – Obsolete
Because the backend join respects header-level authorization:
Items belonging to headers with Release Status = 5 (Obsolete) are automatically filtered out for non-admin users.
The UI preview does not enforce header authorization, so it shows the full count (294).
The export enforces authorization → resulting in fewer items (24).
Resolution
This is a standard behavior.
Option 1 (Recommended): Use Admin user for full export
Use an Admin user to export the complete set of Discount/Price List Items.
Option 2: Adjust Header Release Status
Change the Price/Discount List Header from:
5 → 1 (Draft) or
5 → 3 (Active)
Once the header is in an allowed status, non-admin users will be able to export all related items.
