Cause
For internal employees, the work is valued using the following valuation strategy:
-
Labor resource cost rate
-
Service cost rate
If you want the work to be valued with the service cost rate, simply make sure that no cost rate is defined for the labor resource.
If neither resource cost rate nor service cost rate are valid on the start date of the respective Project Task, the project valuation fails.

Adjust the service cost rate's valuation master data:
- Go to the Product Portfolio work center.
- Choose the Services View.
- Choose the service XYZ.
- Press Edit.
- Navigate to the Valuation tab.
- Choose the Company and press Edit Cost Rate.
- Here maintain the Cost Rate,Cost Unit and Valid From. The Valid from date must be before or on the start date of the Project Task.
