3751034 - No option to schedule recurring jobs in "Mass Changes to Projects" app

Symptom

When using the "Mass Changes to Projects" app to perform mass changes to project job, there is no option to schedule a recurring job.

Also, in the "Monitor Mass Changes" app, it is not possible to create a job since there is no predefined job template available to select.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Open the "Mass Changes to Projects" app.
  2. Select the projects and click "Mass Change".
  3. Fill the necessary fields and click "Apply".
  4. In the popup, enter a job name and confirm.
  5. Observe that there is no option to schedule the job.
  6. Navigate to the "Monitor Mass Changes" app from the top right corner of the screen.
  7. Click "Create".
  8. Observe that there is no template available for selection.

Cause

Currently, it is not possible to schedule the jobs on a recurring basis and there is no template available for Mass Changes to Projects. The system design is on-demand, user-initiated mass changes, then system will schedule a job itself to perform the changes.

Additionally, as outlined in the Monitor Mass Changes | SAP Help Portal, of the available functions in the "Application Jobs" app, only the monitoring function is relevant for the "Monitor Mass Changes" app. Scheduling jobs through the "Monitor Mass Changes" app is currently not supported.
