Symptom
In the Activate Features app, the feature FINCS_MD_HIERARCHICAL_CONS_GRP (Hierarchical consolidation group dependency) is not listed when searched.
In the Maintain Business Roles app, IAM apps F8967_TRAN and F8967_03_TRAN (Manage Consolidation Group Structure) are visible but have Active = false.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Open the Activate Features app.
- Search for FINCS_MD_HIERARCHICAL_CONS_GRP.
- Observe that no entry is returned.
- Open the Maintain Business Roles app and review relevant consolidation business roles.
- Observe IAM apps F8967_TRAN and F8967_03_TRAN are present with Active = false.
Cause
The 2608 What’s New content incorrectly states that upgrade customers must activate the feature FINCS_MD_HIERARCHICAL_CONS_GRP. With CE2608 HFC03, this feature was set to General Rollout, so it no longer appears in Activate Features. App availability is controlled via IAM authorizations.
The What's new will be corrected later.
Resolution
- Do not attempt to activate FINCS_MD_HIERARCHICAL_CONS_GRP in Activate Features; it is in General Rollout as of CE2608 HFC03 and is not listed.
- In the Maintain Business Roles app, activate the IAM app authorization variants for Manage Consolidation Group Structure:
- Assign and activate F8967_TRAN and F8967_03_TRAN to the appropriate business roles.
- Refer to: How to Activate or Deactivate IAM Apps (App Authorization Variants).
- Verify the app “Manage Consolidation Group Structure” is accessible per the product documentation: Refer to: Manage Consolidation Group Structure App.
