Symptom
A Project with actual work hours is migrated via Data Migration Tool. As the consequence, Customer Project Expense List(CPEL) gets created and the corresponding record exists under Not Invoiced Time and Expenses View. Since the time sheet of the project employee is not migrated during the migration, the actual work hours and the CPEL record has no sense, but there is no option to remove the CPEL record.
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to Project Management Work Center.
- Navigate to Projects View.
- Search for the migrated project XXX and choose Edit button.
- Navigate to Project Plan - Gantt Chart - Work Subtab.
- Choose Delete button for all the records of each project task.
- Choose Save button and Close button.
- Navigate to Not Invoiced Time and Expenses View.
- Search for the migrated project XXX, the records can still be found.
Cause
For Non-Migrated Projects, once employee books time against a specific project task and activity (service) then the work records will not be able to delete in the projects. The Delete button will be disabled since the records should be updated by the employee in Home - Self-Services View.
For Migrated projects, as create Project out of migration tool along with actual work hours, CPEL gets created and the Delete button is also enabled in state. Since there is no linkage created at backend between Project task and CPEL, by clicking on the Delete button can only delete the work records which are having Zero actual work quantity.
