Hello,

The error occurs because Business Central requires invoice quantities to match the item tracking details from the receipt. Since the PO was received in two lines (15 and 81) with different tracking numbers, you must invoice using the same split.

To fix this, adjust the Qty to Invoice on the PO and corresponding item tracking lines or use Get Receipt Lines in the Purchase Invoice to pull the exact receipt lines with tracking.

This ensures consistency and allows posting without errors.

In your Line > Item Tracking Lines window, check the Qty. to Invoice (Base) and make sure it matches with what you are posting. Since there are 2 invoices, you would enter the first Invoice and related Qty. to Invoice to match how much is being invoiced. Then Post. Then enter the second invoice and again updating the Qty. to Invoice (should be the remainder at this point) and finally Post.

The Qty. to Invoice on the Sales Line needs to match the Qty. to Invoice in the Item Tracking Lines to be able to post.

Ben Baxter has it right...

You invoice one line at a time, by setting the Quantity To Invoice for one line and setting the 'Item Tracking Lines' Quantity for that same line. Remove the 'Item Tracking Lines' Quantity, and Quantity To Invoice, for the other line. Then post. Then repeat for the alternate line.

Hello,

Quantity to invoice in item tracking should match the Quantity to invoice that you want to invoice in that case.
