Hello,

 

I would like to use the distribution functionality for my Purchase Order Line.

 

When I enable posting M117 por Project and I choose the project in Distribution tabs, system requires an Activity Seq value. But that field is disable:

 

Is there any way to enable?

 

Regards.

@TimeMarBou have you tried to connect the PO Line with the Project Activity first? Then I suppose the Activity Seq in Preposting could be edited.

Hi, 

 

It appears that the distribution (similar to pre-posting) does not support pre-posting to project management type projects. If you review the pre-posting option, the activity sequence is blocked.   

The expected process is to link the po line to an activity (project connection) rather than using the pre-posting for this type of project.  

In a similar way, you can see the limitation in the pre-accounting distribution. You can easily pre-post to a purely finance project, but not a project Managment project. 

I believe this is similar to other screens in IFS where we use the project connection process not the pre-posting for these project management projects. 

In other words, what you are trying to do does not appear to be supported. 

 

Best regards, 

Thomas

I’m afraid so, @Thomas Peterson 

I wanted to confirm if there was any possible setting I was missing.

Thanks both!
