Cannot post invoice - Shipping Agent Service Code too small

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Member

Hello All, 

I am currently experiencing an issue with posting an invoice - Business Central comes up with the following error message: 

Message Type Description Context Context Field Name Source Source Field Name Additional Information Support URL
Error The contents of the Contact Name field cannot be copied to the Shipping Agent Service Code field because the size of the Shipping Agent Service Code field is too small. Type: Code10 <-- Text100 Field: Shipping Agent Service Code <-- Contact Name Sales Header: Order,1000191

This is a bit of a strange issue as it is only occurring with this one particular invoice - I have posted many others before and after this with no issue. 

Any advice as to what may be causing this error and how I can go about correcting it?

    Is this in the standard system or do you have some customized code that is causing this error?

    Kasandra,

    The message seems to want to copy a field off the Sales Order Header Contact Name Field to the Shipping Agent Code field. Not sure why as this leads me a customization you created. Please contact your Partner to investigate and debug.

    Thanks,

    Steve

    Just wanted to give everyone an update and say your suspicions were correct - seemed to be an issue with the code - there were two fields with the same ID and mismatch between data types. 

    Thanks!
