3730238 - Different/Inconsistent filter behavior between app Trial Balance and app Manage G/L Account Master Data in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

In SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, filter behaviors are different in app Trial Balance and app Manage G/L Account Master Data.

In app Trial Balance, entering wildcard (such as 1*, 2*) in filter field will become "equal to" operator in filter condition.

In app Manage G/L Account Master Data, entering wildcard (such as 1*, 2*) in filter field will become "starts with" operator in filter condition.

Therefore, if in filter field input more than one wildcard such as 1* plus 2*, in app Trial Balance the logic will be "equal to 1* and equal to 2*" and returns no result, while in app Manage G/L Account Master Data it will show all results including 1* or 2*, thus causing inconsistent filter behavior.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Cause

These two apps are using different underlying technology.

Trial Balance is a WebDynpro Grid app. Manage G/L account master data is a Fiori UI app.

They have different logic on UI and backend action. Therefore this situation appears.

Resolution

The apps are working as designed.

The underlying technology of apps (Application Type) can be checked in Fiori App Library.
