Working through a Project, with Phases and Milestones, I going to WBS Phases, WBS Phase Detail and Invoicing and Recognition, I set the “Invoicing Method” as “Milestone Billing”, I set “Revenue Recognition” as “POC-Efforts”, Order Number to our regular length order number that we have been using since version 9, 10 and now 11, Line 1 since it is for Line 1 and I get an error of “Order Number is too large for its format of ‘>>9’” Any clue as to what could be going on, how to resolve?
While there has been no update to this, I was able to get a resolution and I will leave it here to help others.
- Go to Extended Property Maintenance screen
- Search for DataSet Table ID: ProjPhase
- Look up for the OrderNum field at the tree view and select it
- Move to Column > Detail tab
- Enter >>>>>>>>9 at the Format Field
- Click Save
I have a screenshot below, and if you need it from the horses mouth, you can find the link to the article here. I searched the KB for it, but since it does not have Order Num is too large, I could not locate it. I have made recommendations for them to update the KB, I doubt they will.
