Problem

I want to change the project's receivable but can't open it in edit mode; the (blue star) icon has disappeared.


In Smart projects

Cause: The project has already been invoiced

The project has already been invoiced, and the receivables have been automatically locked.

Solution: Unlock the receivables

  1. Go to the Invoicing terms tab in the Finance card.

  2. In the menu on the left, select the task in question.

  3. On the right, click the number link in the Invoice number section. You will be directed to the invoice that includes the current receivable.

  4. Set the invoice's status to Not Ready.

  5. In theTasks and Items tab, delete the task and item associated with the receivable in question.

  6. Click the Save button.

  7. Go back to the project's receivables. The (blue star) icon has reappeared, and you can now edit the receivable.

If you want to give additional rights to a specific user, not the whole user group, you can create a new user group consisting of only one user and assign the necessary rights to this group. To learn how to do this, see the Add a new user account - Add a new user group article.
