Quantity ordered cannot be reduced because there are not enough open inventory transactions with the ordered status - Problems

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by BCC 18

Hello

I have an Intercompany order:

* On the Purchase Order, 50 meters of a cable has been ordered (the multiple is 50 meters).

* 56 m was picked incorrectly instead.

* It was delivered only 50 m to the customer.

* When we try to reduce the Packing slip to 50 m instead of 56 m, this error message appears:

"Quantity ordered cannot be reduced because there are not enough open inventory transactions with the ordered status".

I assume that the problem is because it was picked 6 meters too many and that there is some connection between PO and SO that is disturbed .

But I would like to know how I get the order so it´s only get invoiced 50 meters.

Does anyone have any suggestions how I can remove 6 picked "meters" from the order?

    Hello André 

    Exactly, it's like you wrote, it was picked in SO.

    And we finally solved this by making a correction order of minus 6 pcs, but I was curious why the error came up + how to solve this in the order.

    Hi BCC,

    I do assume the picking was on the sales order? You started your story with a PO, but you didn't switch to the other company for the SO. I do assume you get this error in the SO company? Do you have an automatic receive enabled? If so, or the quantity got also posted as receipt, then indeed this is the cause for the error.

    In that case, you can create a new IC return (line or order) for the 6 meters correction.
