Cause

The possible causes for this scenario will be listed below:

Cause 1: In the "Define Recurring Invoice" section, the recurrence type is marked "Individual Dates".

Cause 2: In the recurring invoice template, for one of the items, it was selected the checkbox "Distribute Additional Costs" in the Cost Distribution tab. System tries to update the business transaction within a transaction session and creates 500 internal server error in the backend system. Currently the "Distribute Additional Costs" scenario is not handled for Recurring Invoice. When user creates a manual invoice with this scenario, it will work as expected.

Resolution

The resolutions for the previous mentioned causes will be listed below:

Resolution for Cause 1: In the "Define Recurring Invoice" section, the recurrence type should be "Recurrence Pattern".

Resolution for Cause 2: The user can uncheck the checkbox "Distribute Additional Costs" in the Recurring Invoice template for a particular item. This will result in recurring invoice getting created automatically.
