Reproducing the Issue

  1. Navigate to the Project Management Work center.
  2. Go to the Invoice Preparation View.

  4. Choose the Project XYZ (where XYZ represents the relevant Project ID).
  5. Click on the New button.

It is not possible to select the options 'Manual Project Invoice Request' and 'Automatic Project Invoice Request'.

Cause
