Note:

Due to the item type-- Expense - fixed price without actuals, you can skip the Service Confirmation step since system won’t consider actuals into Sales Order and invoice value will be fetched directly from Sales Order. While the Confirm Service Execution tab is still available under the Submit dropdown list. You can attach Service Confirmation to Sales Order per business needs.

When creating service confirmation, no item details will be passed from sales order, you are able to manually add items and miantain price. This service confirmation will be visible in the document flow of the sales order.  Service Confirmation Invoice Request will be created after release it, and you are able to create invoice based on it. But service confirmation does not affect the delivery and invoice status of the sales order, becuase there is no reference on item level between service confimration and sales order.

As summary, the Expense - Fxied Price without Actuals item is delivery finished by manually click Complete Service Execution and invoice finished by invoicing the Sales Order Inovice Request.
