Can we expand resources on a purchase invoice to allow posting a purchased resource to a BC project?


Resources used on a purchase invoice generate g/l activity like a non-inventory item purchase without issue, but resources trigger an error if the project no. is populated & non-inventory items do not.

Resources on a project journal post project ledger activity like a non-inventory item would (and no g/l activity), both are selectable without issue here.

Resources on project planning lines function generally the same as non-inventory items on sales invoices, wip calculations, and the like.


It would be nice to be able to use the same configured resource throughout the process in the same way, whether it's an internally owned/controlled resource (like a truck or direct employee's time) or similar externally owned resource (like a rental vehicle or subcontractor's time). the error message, which is hard coded, prevents that.


I'm sure there's some underlying code reason for the error in how it's implemented, but if a purchase invoice could post a resource to a project the same way a project journal does [when applicable], it would be a nice improvement.
