Common Errors and FAQs

Can you enable Expense Approval Workflows in Autodesk Cost Management?

No. Enabling the expense workflow will trigger the following error: [Autodesk Build Error] ValidationException: Cannot create expense which status is not Draft when existing Expense approval workflows.

This error is because we only sync Expense (i.e. Job Costs) from your ERP in a status of "Approved". You should also expect to never create Expenses in Autodesk Build since those will always be synced from your ERP.

To turn off Expense approval workflows:

  1. In an Autodesk Project, go to Cost Management-->Settings-->Cost:

Expenses

  1. Scroll down to Expense approval workflows and make sure there are no workflows enabled. Note, this section might be named something different based on your configuration (e.g. in the below, it is Job Cost approval workflows):

Expenses

tip

Make sure you turn off the Expense Approval Workflow for your Project Template.

Validation Exception: Number Should Be Unique.

If you see the error [Autodesk Build Error] ValidationException: The number should be unique., it means an Expense with this number already exists in the Autodesk Build Project.

To resolve this error, press Link to Existing and link the Expense to the existing one in Autodesk Build.

tip

If the Expense number is not appearing in the "Link to Existing" list, trying pressing Fetch Latest Data to confirm you are seeing the latest list of Expenses in your Autodesk Build Project.
