To see which Diary Actions are uncompleted and take action, the user needs to change the costing status back to 'P'.

Since this is not common knowledge, we have now enhanced the existing error message and added an additional warning to 'Update Cost option status back to 'P' (Costing tab)' to make it more clear for the users what they have to do.
