2. Select the Purchase Orders view.
3. Select New Purchase Order from the Common Tasks.

Sales Order XYZ is created, but remain In Preparation. (XYZ represents the ID of the Sales Order).

The Project Based Sales Order is not released automatically, since the system is not able to create a Project to the scenario.
This happens because the Organization Unit being used in the scenario is not marked a viable/valid Cost Center.

This is the system expected behavior for Project based items (Entitlement and Service Project).

1. Go to Organizational Management - Org Structures
2. Select the Org Unit ID ABC (ABC represents the Org Unit used in the sales order)
3. Click on Edit and navigate to Definitions subtab.  

Please mark the Organization Unit as a Cost Center
