3762173 - Auto update from source not available when importing nodes in consolidation profit center hierarchy

Symptom

The option "Auto update from Source" is not available when importing a node in the consolidation profit center

Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Open the Manage Global Hierarchies app.
  2. Create a new hierarchy and select type Consolidation Profit Center.
  3. Enter Hierarchy ID (for example, CPC).
  4. Enter Controlling Area (for example, A000).
  5. Enter Hierarchy Description (for example, CPC Test).
  6. Select Create.
  7. Choose the "..." option to import nodes.
  8. Observe that the Auto Update from Source option is not available.

Cause

For newly created consolidation profit center hierarchies, time-dependent nodes were introduced with release 2508.3; the Auto Update from Source feature is not supported in combination with time-dependent nodes, so the option is not shown.

Auto Update from Source remains available for hierarchy types such as Consolidation Cost Center, which are time-dependent at header level.

Such scenario will happen in Consolidation Unit Hierarchy and Consolidation Segment Hierarchy like consolidation profit center hierarchies.

Resolution

Note that this is expected system behavior: Auto Update from Source is not supported for consolidation profit center hierarchies with time-dependent nodes.
