Dynamics GP Project Accounting error: The Employee ID cannot be assigned as a Project Manager

You have an existing Project and would like to change the Project Manager. In the Project Maintenance window, you attempt to select the new Project Manager from the lookup and receive the following error:

To correct the issue, go to Cards > Payroll > Employee, and click on the Project button.

Check the box for Project Manager

Click Ok to close the PA Employee Options window and then click Save to close the Employee Maintenance window. You should now be able to change the Project Mgr ID in the Project Maintenance window.
