Symptom
You are unable to modify Time and Expenses From/To field in the In Preparation Project Invoice Request document.
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to Project Management work center
- Go to Project Invoice Requests view
- Select the relevant Project Invoice Request
- Select Edit and you can see that Time and Expenses From/To field is greyed out for modification
Cause
The Project Invoice Request was created based on schedule invoice request. For such requests, the field Time and Expenses From/To will be greyed out.
Resolution
The Restrict Time and Expenses field cannot be changed or removed or edited for the project invoice requests which were created out of schedule invoice request. The Restrict Time and Expenses is being selected By Specific Dates that it is not the same as maintained in Sales Order Item.
So what is considered for this field? The answer is - An expense item will also be considered as within the period if the service/delivery/expense period only partially falls within the specified date range.
If you create a new manual project invoice request, then the fields are editable. You can choose any one of the below;
By Specific Dates
For Last Week
Until End of Last Week
For Last Month
Until End of Last Month
No Restriction
Note:
Fixed price: The item contains a fixed quantity and net value. The customer invoice is based on this quantity and value, regardless of whether more or less time or expenses than planned have been used to perform the service.
Time and material: The item contains an estimated quantity and net value. The customer invoice is based on the time and material used to perform the service.
