**What are Manual Positions?**
Manual positions are extra costs that do not come from the product catalog. They are used to bill for external costs, third-party services, flat fees, and other expenses that fall outside the automatic system logic. Typical examples include printing costs, translation services, license fees, travel expenses, or one-time flat rates.

Manual positions are part of the project planning process and will appear in project quotes and invoices. They can be categorized, discounted, and reordered as needed.

**What this endpoint returns:**
- All active manual positions for the specified project
- Positions are sorted by their sort order (ascending)
- Only current positions are returned (snapshot positions are excluded)
- Descriptions are returned as HTML (converted from internal IDoc format)

**Permission requirements:**
- Requires read access to the project
- Requires api:read scope

**Use cases:**
- Display manual positions in project planning interface
- Show billable items that will appear in quotes and invoices
- Review project cost breakdown before creating offers
