Symptom
The Created On (Creation Date) field is not available in the Sales Contract, although the creation date is available in the Customer Contract Header data source.
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to the Sales Orders work center.
- Navigate to the Contracts view.
- Select All Contracts in the Show field.
- Open any contract.
The Created-On field is not available in either the contract QAF (Quick Activity Floorplan) or in the OIF (Object Instance Floorplan).
- Go to the Business Analytics work center.
- Select the Data Sources work view.
- Search for Customer Contract Header and select Preview.
- In the View section, add Contract ID, Created On, Contract Start Date, and Contract End Date as row fields.
- In the Selection section, enter the relevant Contract ID.
The Created-On date is displayed for the selected contract.
Cause
The Created-On field is available in the Customer Contract Header data source; however, it is not available as a field in the Sales Contract document. This is a limitation of the current functionality.
Resolution
This is the standard system behavior.
The contract creation date can be viewed only through the Customer Contract Header data source in Business Analytics.
