Scheduled invoice request not created; no relevant items found.

1. Go to the Project Management work center.
2. Choose the Projects view and then the Projects sub view.
3. Show All Projects and click the Go button.
4. Select the Project ABC (ABC represents the project name).
5. Click the Project Identifier icon, which is displayed under the Project ID column.
6. Choose Create Scheduled Project Invoice Request.
7. While creating the Scheduled Invoice Request error message occurs: Scheduled invoice request not created; no relevant items found.

The behavior is happening because of one of the following reasons:

• Sales Order item type is not Project Based as mentioned on Milestone Invoicing for Customer Projects 
• The error message occurs, because the Status of the Milestone to be invoiced is not set to Completed and  thus you cannot create a Scheduled Invoice Request
• For every project it is allowed to have only one project invoice having status “In Preparation”. If there is another Project Invoice Request already added to the Project and this document has status In Preparation, the system will not create a new Project Invoice Request.

Solution for above causes respectively:

• In new Sales Orders, change your project type to 'Service fixed price - Project' or a type that has 'Project' in it.

For existing Sales Orders, you cannot make changes to item type so either leave them as they are or cancel and create new Sales Orders.

• To maintain the Status of the Milestone you can use the following steps:

1. Go to the Project Management work center.
2. Choose the Projects view and then the Projects sub view.
3. Show All Projects and click the Go button.
4. Select the Project ABC.
5. Click the Edit button and choose Project Plan.
6. Select Milestone XYZ (XYZ represents the milestone name).
7. Set the Status to Completed.
8. Save changes.

 Now you shall not see error message when creating  a  Scheduled Invoice Request.

• If you already have a Project Invoice Request with status "In Preparation", complete this first document and then create the new Project Invoice Request.
