Intercompany timesheets - fixed units

Hi,

For Intercompany timesheets to work properly, we need to define a fixed unit (Under Units) of type hours. The question is why does it need to be fixed unit?Thanks Sam

    Hello Sam,

    I am not a developer who can point you to the right position in the code but from my perspective the reason for this is that the intercompany project invoice that you post automatically creates a pending vendor invoice in the other company.

    In the pending vendor invoice form you need to specify a unit in the invoice line section.

    Otherwise you cannot record and post the pending vendor invoice.

    Hope this explains this issue.

    If you need more details, get in touch with a developer who can give you more details on where the unit is referenced in the code.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hi,

    The setup described will fix the problem. But the question, why does it need a 'Fixed unit' type ? Thanks Sam

    Hi Sam,

    Can you check the following setup:

    Finally, you will need to make sure you have set up the hour unit of measure. This will be used when the vendor invoice is generated in the lending company. Click Organization administration > Setup > Units > Units and make sure there is a unit in the list with Fixed unit assignment checked and the Fixed unit dropdown set to “Hours”.

    Hello Sam,

    Can you provide more details of this fixed unit and possibly share a screenprint.

    I am not sure if I fully understood the question.

    Many thanks and best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hi Sam,

    Not completely sure, but the pending vendor invoice that will be created could take this unit as unit on the lines. Cannot check it as I don't have access to any machine on my vacation address.
