Cause
The project MCP will not be available for the Sales Order assignment when you have selected the project based services in sales order.The multi customer project can be assigned to N number of customers via sales order which means there is no specific customer assigned in case of MCP hence you have to use the normal standardized services ,hence, you cannot create Project Invoice Request for these type of projects.
For invoicing purpose, you can create Customer Invoices directly using the sales order.
Resolution
Choose normal standardized services instead of Project-based services then you will be able to link the MCP projects to a sales order items.
Ex: standard Services
Service - Fixed price.
Service - Time and Material.
Service - Fixed price without actuals.
