SAP PS - Assigning project types to the project profile not working

[Maximus_SAPus]

Hey Experts,

I want to assign my WBS project types to specific project profiles so that the dropdown menu is only showing the correct project types for selecting.

For this I used in SPRO the Change View Assign project types to project profile with no effect.

I found the SAP Note 2232730 and 2536982. However it cannot be implemented on my System.

• Is there an updated version of the Notes 2232730 and 2536982? (I cannot find them)

I followed the instructions of SAP Note 2232730 and as far as I can see everything is there as mentioned in the note. The only thing I I don't know to check or implement is the following part.

"For the above feature, activate the below PROF_PTYPE_FLG flag via BADI: PS_FUNCTION_SWITCH method get_switch, by setting value to 'X' " [SAP Note 2232730]

I am able to find the BADI PS_FUNCTION_SWITCH however at the screen shown in the image 5: Display IF_PS_FUNCTION_SWITCH I am running out of knowledge what to do. Help at this point would be great for me.

• Am I on the right track to set the PROF_PTYPE_FLG to the value X?
• Or is it a bad idea? Because the Note 2232730 is obviously not for my system.

I also found some question here, however there is only the mentioned Note 2232730. There is never mentioned something when the system is incompatible to the the note because of updates. My system is to "updated" for the note and the Change View Assign project types to project profile still not working.

If the system is not behaving as designed and standard configuration is not working you should submit a ticket to SAP. They will determine the correct Notes or update the Notes as needed.

Thank you for your help

In addition if you want to see if the PROF_PTYPE_FLG flag is set to value 'X'

Use T-Code SE11 (ABAP Dictionary)
Data Type: PSSWITCH_FUNCTIONS -> Display

Choose: PROF_PTYPE_FLG with double click on it

Double click on the value of Domain: PS_SWITCH_FLAG

Go to the Tab: Value Range

Attention: Please keep the values here and do not change it. Bad practice

We were on S/4HANA 2021 and facing a similar issue with Project Types filtering based on Project Profile.

Follow the SAP Note 2232730: Perform the step of activating the flag PROF_PTYPE_FLG via BADI: PS_FUNCTION_SWITCH method GET_SWITCH, by setting value to 'X' (abap_true)

Then, the relevant configs must be maintained in "Assign Project Types to Project Profile".

This helped to achieve the desired filtering.
