2457051 - Error Message "Invoices not released; Approvals cannot be scoped" While Merging a Change Project

Symptom

Invoices not released; Approvals cannot be scoped

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Business Configuration work center.
  2. Select Implementations Projects view.
  3. Select the Change Project and select Open Activity List button
  4. Go to Go Live tab
  5. Open the Merge activity and start the merge

Cause

The reason for this error is the attempt to scope the question Do you want to set up approval process for manual customer invoices and credit memos?, although one or more open invoices exist in the system.
