4. Release Service Confirmation with Order Completion.

Back to the respective Sales Order. On item details, system recorded the actuals instead of initial value.

Note: Different from SECO - Service - time and material,  Time Recording won’t affect the completion of Service Confirmation when item type is Expense - time and material.
