Stop asking for fields that aren't an option - Explaination Inside

For instance when entering an invoice to a direct cost, once you choose a phase, you don't have an option on cost type. So why do we have to go through entering it. When we choose a bank account number, why would it let you choose the wrong cost center. We ended up with a bunch of activity that wouldn't post to the GL because of this but did post to the A/P Journal and had to void. It shouldn't have been an option to start with. Once we chose our bank account, the cost center should be locked.

    Hey there!

    It sounds like your setup requires a specific cost type. While the majority of folks are set up like you it is not always the case for everyone else.

    So to be able to support your situation and the others out there, we all get to enter through the cost type field.

    It is done this way for maximum flexibility...
