3759677 - Fields Profit Center and Functional Area are not editable in Project Planning app

In Project Control - Enterprise Project app, for a project with Project Profile "Project with Revenue", when creating a new WBS Element it is not possible to edit the Profit Center and Functional Area fields in app Project Planning.

• SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

1. Start app Project Control – Enterprise Projects.
2. Create a new project of type Project with Revenue and assign a profit center.
3. Save the project so it is in status "Created".
4. Navigate to app Project Planning via “Edit in” → “Project Planning”.
5. Click “Edit”.
6. Select the parent project and click “Create” to add a WBS element.
7. Observe that the new WBS element inherits the profit center from the parent project and it cannot be overridden.

System standard behavior: for a billing element, the profit center and functional area are the same for all WBS elements in its subtree; subordinate WBS inherit these values and are not editable at WBS level.

1. Use the parent project’s billing element to set the required profit center; subordinate WBS elements will inherit this value by design.

This standard behaviour is documented in SAP Help Billing Element:

• The Profit Center and Functional Area of a Billing Element is same for all the WBS elements in its subtree structure.
