Dear Experts, Time & Expense Entry while Copy Selection and Paste Insert the Time Detail under list system is throwing error “Invalid Job Operation Sequence.”
I often see a grid field that displays the “Description” for the field value, but when pasting, you need to use the ID of the field.
For example, in Order Entry, the Line->List grid has a column for Product Group. I have a PG with the ID “CABL”, and description “Cable”. I need the clipboard contents to hold “CABL”, not “Cable”
So you might need to paste that line into excel, and then change any fields that show the description to the ID.
When I’m Paste Insert-ing records into manufacturing jobs, I get no errors.
But when I do the same for Project jobs, I get the same error. I was just seeing this today.
What I noticed is that my Excel columns don’t have the WBS Phase:
Choosing the Project/Phase, it automagically fills in the Job (WBS Job) for you so you don’t have the ability to choose the other fields. Project jobs (Type = J) don’t use the other Production Job fields.
Your excel data doesn’t have a column titled “Project Phase”
I would also try re-arranging the columns in the list view, putting the project related fields (ProjectID, Project Phase, and Opr) first, and only trying to paste those
