My customer has a Sales Contract with the valuation method "Quantity".
However, the quantity is not shown in the Project Invoice. Why is this?

The valuation method that you have used in the sales contract is "Quantity" and that can be defined as the total accumulated number of pieces completed for a particular line item on a particular application and all the previous applications.
However the "Quantity" in a Project invoice can be defined as the portion of the report code or the quantity of time that is reported to the activity that is referred.
Hence, there is no mapping between the quantity in the sales contract and the quantity in the project invoice window.

Regardless the valuation method is quantity, progress or any other, quantity will not be shown in the Project Invoice (originated from AFPs). The reason behind this behavior as follows;
System creates the sales contract related AFP invoice through an invoicing plan object. We do not have quantities in place on an invoicing plan record & hence the invoicing plan related invoices (rather invoice lines) will not have quantities.
Quantities will be shown only on the invoices which have been created through Project Transactions originated through Time registration, Cost registration or Material transfer. AFP valuation quantity has not been mapped with the quantity field in an invoice.

We have the same question at a customer implementing currently, the solution here was to send the AFP as attachment with the project invoice. Sub-optimal but it works.

"We do not have quantities in place on an invoicing plan record & hence the invoicing plan related invoices (rather invoice lines) will not have quantities" might be technically true, but from a user experience perspective this is a strange answer. User expects a Sales Contract Invoice. Anything on the roadmap?
