Symptom
System throws an error "Item X: Status of project task Y not 'Started' or 'Released'." (X: Item ID, Y: task ID)
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Navigate to Purchase Requests and Orders work center.
- Go to Purchase Orders view.
- Search for relevant Purchase Order.
- Edit the order.
- Navigate to the Items tab.
- Make any changes to an existing line item or add a new line.
- The system throws an error.
Cause
This is standard system behavior.
Resolution
The system does not allow the assignment of a closed project to a purchase order when creating it.
Note that if a project is closed after the purchase order is created, the system will still expect the project to be open in order to assign it. This applies to both existing line items and newly added line items.
