Posted on by AM MCA

I have gone through the full setup of a new business central company and have created the no. series and tied it all through the purchases and payable setup and the sales and receivables setup but it is still giving me this error message.

The purchase invoice and sale invoice no. series works just fine.

Has anyone run into this problem and know how to fix it?

Hi,

Please check the following settings.

1. Marketing Setup
Are the following two parameters set?

Is Contact Nos. setting set like below?

2. No. Series List
Is the record CONT' exist?

Try setting the two parameters in the first image to blanks.
Or try creating a record for "CONT" as shown in the third image.
This should remove the error.

If the parameters are set as shown in the three images above, a Contact record will be automatically created every time you create a vendor or customer record.

To prevent the Contact record from being created automatically, leave the two parameters in the first image blank.

I hope I can be of help.

Hi, according to the error message, please check whether 'CONT' No. series has been deleted by mistake.

If it does not exist, please add it and try again.

Hope this will help.

Thanks.

Hello,

The error message, where Code='CONT', points to a Contact No. Series you setup on the Marketing Setup/Numbering Fast Tab/Contact Nos.

Go to the Marketing Setup to see this and drill into the No. Series 'CONT' and make sure it is setup in the No. Series table and has a Starting Number Series.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Steve
