Cause
You activated the scoping question "Do you want to record time for sales orders" in your Business Configuration. Therefore the confirmation for the Service is not done when you manually create a Service Confirmation and therefore the Service is also not populated automatically when creating a manual Service Confirmation.
In this case the Service Confirmation is automatically created when the employee records his/her time for the respective Sales Order Item. The Service Performer can record the time by going to the Home work center. He/She can enter the time and upon the “Release” action the Service Confirmation is automatically created by the system.
Resolution
- Go to the Business Configuration work center.
- Go to the Implementation Projects view.
- Select the current Project and click on button Edit Project Scope.
- In the Scoping screen go to the Step 4:Questions.
- In the Show field from drop-down select All Elements and expand the scoping element:Sales ->Selling Products and Services->Sales Order.
- Select the Question for Sales Orders: Do you want to record time for sales orders?
If you would like to confirm the Service via a manual Service Confirmation you have to set this as NO (i. e. checkbox should not be selected)
