Copying document not possible; configuration from Service Order to Service Confirmation missing

Cause

The error is happening because the following question under the business configuration has not been maintained:

Do you intend to invoice expenses based on receipts that result from sales or services, taking actual costs from the service confirmation?

Resolution

This is the system expected behavior.

Please perform the following steps to configure the question:

  1. Go to the Business Configuration work center.
  2. Select the Implementation Projects view.
  3. Navigate to the Questions.
  4. Expand Services.
  5. Expand Product and Service Portfolio for Service and Repair.

Once we do this, it will by default select the Business Configuration that is related to using service confirmations for after sales service, which allow you to do Service Confirmation.
