I have a long list of Employee Time Activities that need to be released. I received the following error when I hit release.

 

The top suggestion was to make sure that the Labor Rates Date is set far enough back to cover the time punch for the Project. I tried changing the date multiple times including setting it back to the Acumatica default of 01/01/1900.

No change.

Any Suggestions?

The effective date was a great thing to check, but what you also will want to check is to make sure the Time Activity is using a Labor Item from the Labor Rates.
Look at the time activity and compare to the labor rate table, add the labor item to the rate table if it’s not there.

    Thank you, the labor item is selected and is present on the Rate Table.
