3608895 - No Negative Values in Project Invoice Request

You have noticed in a Project Invoice Request (PIR) that not negative values appear in Time and Expenses when you can see some in the report "Projects - Line Items".

SAP Business ByDesign

Work Center Project Management.

Project Invoice Request View.

Search PIR ABC.

Go to Items Tab > Time and Expenses sub tab.

From here you cannot find negative entries visible in report "Projects - Line Items" FINCACU02.

In Business ByDesign, the system only displays positive values in the Time and Expenses tab of the Project Invoice Request because negative values are not typically used for Time and Expenses in this context.

Time and Expenses are usually recorded as positive values to reflect the amount of work done or costs incurred.

If there are any adjustments or corrections needed, they are typically handled through other processes such as credit notes or expense reversals.

Therefore, the system is designed to only show positive values in this specific context.

Also, only Time and Expenses items that are assigned to an invoice item are included in the PIR.

This is the expected system behavior.
