Hello everyone,

I am trying to post a packing slip for the Item arrivals to the warehouse.

I am still unsure about the importance of mantaining a Packing slip number unique on a certain date given that it belongs to a different Purchase Order.

Could anyone please explain this to me?

It is to try to prevent the duplication of receipts. A vendor sends in goods with GRNI number 12388, if you process this receipt then try again against a different PO it is preventing a possible double receipt. Different vendors cannot have same packing slip number, but the same one can be used across different vendors from memory.

Hi,

You are getting this error because your system is setup to reject duplicate product receipt numbers. If your business allows you to use duplicate product receipt number then you can change the value to "Accept duplicates". You can find this setup in procurement and sourcing --> setup --> procurement and sourcing parameters --> update fast tab, as shown below:

Hope that helps.

Thanks,

Rachit Garg

Thank you very much Rachit,

It did help.

One thing I forgot to point out was that I am using AX2009, but I found the same configuration under:

Accounts Payable -> Setup -> Parameters (although I'm on a Spanish version)

" Different vendors cannot have same packing slip number, but the same one can be used across different vendors from memory. "

I'm sorry, but I'm affraid I did not quite understand the last part.

Could you clarify a little bit what "same one" and "memory" mean?

Thanks for your answer!

You can use packing slip 12388 on Vendor A1000 and packing slip 12388 on vendor B2000, but if you tried the second time to use packign slip 12388 on Vendor A1000 it would flag it as a duplicate as packing slip + vendor are the same. Memory means I am writing this without reference to the software, it is a memory of functionality.

This is a control mechanism so is a useful tool even if you just set it to warning.

Thank you again Weaveriski,

Good to know that it depends on vendors instead of purchase orders.

Memory makes sense now.

It indeed is a useful tool. Everything is clearer now.
