3790612 - Cost values in header bullet chart within the "Project Briefs" app appear different from the "Project Cost Report" app

Symptom

The Actual versus Planned Cost displayed in the header bullet chart within the "Project Briefs" app appear inconsistent with the values shown in the "Project Cost Report" app.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Navigate to a project within the "Project Briefs" app.
  2. Review the header bullet charts for Actual versus Planned Cost. 
  3. Compare the values with those shown in the "Project Cost Report" app and observe discrepancy. 

Cause

The header bullet chart in the "Project Briefs" app display actual versus planned costs per period, which is up to the end of the current month. Any planned costs that fall into future accounting periods are treated as Forecast and are therefore not included in the Planned value displayed in the bullet chart. 

Resolution

Hover over the values in the header bullet chart to view forecast information when planned amounts are posted against future periods.

To view all planned and actual costs across periods, use the line chart under the Cost section within the "Project Briefs" app, or navigate to the "Project Cost Report" app.
