The button Recalculate amount is used if the invoicing plan shall be updated according to the quote rows. This is useful when, for example, an addition has been made afterwards on the quote rows and the order value is thereby higher than the invoicing plan amount. The partial invoice amounts will then be redistributed.
If the quote rows are changed so that the order value is affected on already saved quotes, a question appears asking if the invoicing plan shall be updated. If you say Yes, the Invoicing Plan tab opens and the Recalculate amount button is automatically activated. The check is made to avoid that the invoicing plan's total value will be incorrect.
