In the case of the projects, the system does not throw any validation or warning before closing projects for which posted transactions exist.

The system allows changing the status of the Project to 'Closed' and also allows to re-open of the project with the status 'Released' (or any other).

The current expectation is that the users would like to have validation in the case of pending project transactions which aren't invoiced and if chargeable transactions exist for a project so that it can be prevented from closing,


When there are WIP balances or open transactions for eg., Timesheet is Posted then when the user tries to close the project,i.e., changes project stage to Finished system should prevent it.


If the chargeable transactions exist when they are Uninvoiced when the user tries to close the project,i.e., changing the project stage to the 'Finished' system should prevent it.

Thank you for your suggestion.

We currently have a parameter for Prevent project closure if open transactions exist. This parameter checks for pending transactions and prevents closing of the project if pending project transactions exist. If you can add any more scenarios or details to consider, we will consider those in an enhancement to this parameter or do something else. 

To help us in our review process, we’re requesting votes from the community to help us understand the importance of this functionality. This posting is provided “as is” with no warranties, and confers no rights.

The system should not allow a project stage of Finished if pending/chargeable transactions exist on the project.

This is still a pain point and would expect this validation would've been standard functionality of the project stages. If open Chargeable transactions exists, the system should be smart enough to prevent closure of the project.

System should not allow to close the project if open invoice proposal exists with Chargeable transactions.

This is a great suggestion. In situations where chargeable transactions are accruing revenue, the user should NOT be allowed to close the project without proper disposition of the transactions - either to invoice or to mark them as non-billable.
