Hello,

When trying to create a sales order against a project with a contract with multiple funding sources I get this error:

Warning Message (14:58:22) Sales Orders may not be created for a project associated to a contract with multiple funding sources

Why is not possible? Is there any workaround? We would like to bill diferent customers against one project which is related to a type of service.

Many thanks

Hello axrookie,

This scenario seems currently not supported.

The run method in the SalesCreateOrder form checks if more than one funding source is setup and cancels the process if you setup more than one.

Please see the screenshot below.

You thus have to live with this shortcoming, implement a system modification or use a workaround.

Would it be possible to consume the items first e.g. via an item Journal and then invoice it to reach your objective?

No, there's no option without customizing the code.

As a workaround we are using the project dimension in the sales orders but as the project and the sales orders are linked only by this dimension we don't see in the project itself any sales order info.

It's hard to understand the standard does not allow this.

This is a documented limitation of Sales orders and Item requirements when using multiple customers on a contract.

A sales order or item requirement is required to be processed to a single customer. When multiple customers exists, the system does not know which customer to create the business document for. In addition if you are using allocation splits and/or funding limits in the contract, it could cause issue with how the funding of the contract works. There is an request to address this in the MS Connect database which you can add your vote too.
