Symptom
In the Project - Plan/Actual app, using the “Starts With” condition on the Project filter field makes unexpected change to the data query and does not return the expected results. The same “Starts With” criteria on the Project External ID field returns expected results.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Open the “Project - Plan/Actual” app (ID W0080).
- Add the top filter for “Project”.
- Go to Define Conditions and set the filters such as:
1. Starts With “P”
2. Starts With “B”
3. Starts With “U” - Choose Go to execute the filter.
- Observe that entries starting with “P” are not returned.
- Repeat the same “Starts With” criteria using the “Project External ID” filter and observe that expected results are returned.
Cause
The fields “Project” and “WBS Element” in reporting apps are deprecated. Their successors are “Project External ID” and “WBS Element External ID”.
Resolution
Use the fields “Project External ID” and “WBS Element External ID” and apply the filters to those fields instead.
