  2. Find item XYZ-XX.
  3. Go to the Dates sub-tab.
  4. Here, a Final Delivery Date appears.

Reset the sales order item's fulfillment status by reopening the associated project task:

  1. In the Sales Document Items view go to the Associated Objects view. 
  2. Sales Order item XYZ-XX is associated with project ABC and project task ABC-X (ABC represents the project ID. ABC-X represents the associated project task  ID). 
  3. Choose the project ID, here ABC, to open the project.
  4. In the Project, find project task ABC-X.
  5. Change the status of the project task to Released. 
  6. Press Save. 

Now execute the revenue recognition run for period 012.YYYY.

This time the manual POC, here 75%, will be considered.
