3798689 - Layout permission group not re-evaluated on quote switch, resulting in incorrect column visibility in quote view mode

Symptom

  • Layout Permission Group is not re-evaluating when a quote is loaded if the user type is in view mode only.
  • When switching between quotes with different conditions, a quote item column (for example, Currency) keeps the visibility from the previously opened quote instead of the current one.
  • Re-evaluation occurs only after leaving the setup area, not during normal view navigation.

Environment

SAP CPQ

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Open a quote where the target column is hidden based on permission conditions; confirm the column is hidden.
  2. Without editing, open another quote where the same column should be visible; observe the column remains hidden (incorrect).
  3. Reverse the order: first open a quote where the column should be visible; confirm it is visible.
  4. Then open a quote where the column should be hidden; observe the column remains visible (incorrect).

Cause

This is a bug.

Resolution

  • The defect is planned to be fixed with the 2611 release.
  • Temporary workaround until the fix is available: open the affected quote in edit mode first and then switch to view mode to force correct permission evaluation of the column visibility.
