1964635 - Down Payment Request can be Assigned to Invoice Request Even Though it was Already Assigned to an Invoice

Symptom

When invoicing a customer invoice request you receive a warning message that down payment requests for this account exist and can be added. You are able to add the down payment requests to the customer invoice request. However this down payment requests was already assigned to an invoice and hence it should not be possible to assign it anymore.

  1. Go to the Customer Invoicing work center.
  2. Select the Invoice Requests view.
  3. Select invoice request XYZ (XYZ represents the ID of the invoice request).
  4. Click on the Invoice button.
  5. The following warning appears:Down payment requests for Customer Invoice Request ABC exist for this account. You can add them to this invoice.
  6. Select the invoice request XYZ in the Invoice Request view again and click on the Edit button.
