2734518 - Cannot Process Customer Project Expense List Because Supplier Invoice Not Yet Posted in Accounting

You have posted a customer sales project expense, such as a supplier invoice, a goods receipt or an employee time calendar.

The relevant, expense assignment to sales order, the Customer Project Expense List (CPEL) is stuck in the Unposted Source Documents list.

SAP Business ByDesign

1. Go to the General Ledger work center.
2. Go to the Source Documents view select Unposted Source Documents showlist.
3. CPEL documents are stuck with the error:

'Cannot process Customer Project Expense List because Supplier Invoice not yet posted in accounting. As Customer Project Expense List contains a reference to Supplier Invoice but Supplier Invoice has not been posted in accounting, it is impossible to process Customer Project Expense List. Check why Supplier Invoice has not been posted.'

It can happen that the CPELs are being processed faster in Accounting than the associsted expense document.

Once an expense item has been processed its CPEL is being generated. However, if there are further expense items to be processed, then it might take a few seconds until the source document and its journal entry get generated in accounting while the CPELs for each item have already reached accounting. 

We are working on improving the posting sequence of customer project expenses and their connected CPELs. 

In the meantime, post the CPEL manually, once you verified that the project expense is posted in accounting. 

To post manually, select the CPEL in the General Ledger's Source Documents view. 

Press Actions and choose Post Business Transaction.
