2228945 - Option to Create Manual Project Invoice Request and Automatic Project Invoice Request are Disabled

Symptom

The options Manual Project Invoice Request and Automatic Project Invoice Request are disabled or grayed out when attempting to create a new Project Invoice Request.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Project Management Work center.
  2. Select Not Invoiced Time and Expenses subview under Invoice Preparation view.
  3. Choose the Project ID XYZ (XYZ represents the relevant Project ID).
  4. Select New button.

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

Cause

A Project Invoice Request with "In Preparation" status is already existing for the project XYZ, which prevents the creation of additional Project Invoice Requests.

Resolution

The system allows the creation of new Project Invoice Requests only after all existing Project Invoice Requests for the project have been processed.

This is the expected system behavior.
