3318171 - Cost Center and Project task in New Incoming Cash Payment

Symptom

You try to create a New Incoming Cash Payment and finds Project task field is greyed out after Cost Center is filled and vice versa

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Payment Management work center
  2. Select Petty Cash View
  3. Hit New - New Incoming Cash Payment - Direct Posting to G/L Account
  4. Enter Mandatory data and then add line items(Add Row Button)
  5. Enter G/L account and when Cost center is selected, Project task gets greyed out and Vice Versa

Cause

Current system behaviour

Resolution

As per the current system design, when a cost center is entered for the newly added row, the Account assignment type field will get changed to CC - Cost center and this disables Project task field and hence no data can be entered.

Even in the Activity - Account assignment type, for the primary account assignment type CC - Cost center, Project task cannot be added as a Account assignments and system throws error message 'Account assignment PROJECT_TASK_KEY is not allowed for primary account assign'. The same goes with PRO - Project Account assignment as well.
