Cause

The system gives error of 0 quantity because, there are no actuals recorded against that task or material of the project.

  1. Go to the Project Management work center.
  2. Go to the Projects view and select the Projects subview.
  3. Show All Projects and Find ABC (ABC is the ID of the project for which project invoice request has been created).
  4. Edit the project ABC and select Products and Purchasing.
  5. Select the Product Overview subtab.
  6. Here Actual Quantity for all the project tasks is 0.

 

Resolution
