  12. In the Details Section, in the Labor Information tab, maintain Confirmation Type : Sales Order Confirmation
  13. In the Sales Order field, select the Sales Order ID from the value help
  14. System throws the mentioned error

Cause

There is an inconsistency with Time Recording and therefore, the system throws the error. That is, the Service Product on Sales Order contains a Unit of Measure of other than Time units, example: each, box, etc.

Resolution

For time recordings, the system expects the unit in Time or Duration. Use a Service Product that contains a Time unit of measure or change the existing Service Product to have a Time unit of measure if applicable.
