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
- Open the Manage Global Hierarchies app.
- Create a new hierarchy and select type Consolidation Profit Center.
- Enter Hierarchy ID (for example, CPC).
- Enter Controlling Area (for example, A000).
- Enter Hierarchy Description (for example, CPC Test).
- Select Create.
- Choose the "..." option to import nodes.
- 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.
