Symptom:
For BPC users it is confusing that in Consolidation Monitor there are two ways to set Work Status (for a single entity or for a group member and all entities underneath), but via EPM Add-In, only entity members can be selected – which in most cases will lead to an error when selecting a node-entity.
Cause:
The EPM Add-In function for setting work status could is not aligned with the function in BPC consolidation monitor in a way that allows to select also a group dimension member.
Work status changese at an entity-node from EPM Add-In are not performed only for base entities underneath the selected node entity where controls have been executed without error message. I
Resolution:
This is the designed behavior of the product. Work Status management in EPM Add-in at node level does not behave like BPC Web. .
