2091553 - Correctly Assigned Times and Expenses Are Missing in Not Invoiced Times and Expenses/ Project Invoicing

For your customer sales project several time and expense items, e.g. employee time confirmations or goods and service receipts,  were correctly posted and assigned to the respective project task and sales order item.
You now want to edit these items in the Not Invoiced Times and Expenses view.
Or
You want to create project invoice requests for these time and expense items.

You have verified that the items appear in the Projects: Times and Expenses view as well as in the Sales Accruals report in the Cost and Revenue workcenter and that they are correctly assigned to the respective sales order item and project task.
But in both cases, the times and expenses are not available for editing or invoicing.

8. Now compare the values of the columns Quantity Available to Be Invoiced and Quantity to Be Written Off.
9. If you don't see this column Quantity to Be Written Off in the table you need to add it via the Personalize function in the very top right corner of the screen.
10. You can see that the quantities to be invoices have been written off totally. Therefore they are not available anymore for invoicing or editing.

Check with the project manager why these items have been written off. If you came to the conclusion that they should be available for editing/invoicing you need to cancel the related project invoice requests and all follow-on documents, such as customer invoices and payments. Only then you will be able to edit/invoice these quantities again.
