Symptom
When trying to create the Project Invoice Request, you see that the options to create "Manual Project Invoice Request" and "Automatic Project Invoice Request" are grayed out.
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Navigate to the Project Management Work center.
- Go to the Invoice Preparation View.
- Go to the Not Invoiced Time and Expenses Subview.
- Choose the Project XYZ (where XYZ represents the relevant Project ID).
- Click on the New button.
It is not possible to select the options 'Manual Project Invoice Request' and 'Automatic Project Invoice Request'.
Cause
If an open project invoice request exists for the relevant project, the system will not allow the creation of new requests.
Resolution
The system is working as designed. In order to enable the creation of automatic or manual project invoice requests, all of the existing open project invoice requests must be processed first.
