Hello guys,

I need your help:

I have just created an order with an item with quantity 100.

Now I have posted this order with the quantity to ship once with 20, with 30 and with quantity 50 (shipment & invoice).

Now I want to extend our report for printing the invoices so that each invoice has the correct shipment number. Now on all invoices there is always the same shipment number....

I have created some code, but this shows my only the first shipment number or if I use a FindLast the last one:

0243.Code.PNG

Thank you ;)

Hi Tabrez,

thank you for you answer ;)

I understand your way and I like your idea.

Unfortunately I also post an order with the same quantity to ship. So let's say 20, then again 20 and so on for the same item no. (shipment & invoice).

How can I find out the correct shipment number here? Somehow I have no way to match the correct shipment to the matching invoice in this case, since they are all the same. Maybe the timestamp?

Hi @malue,

Each time you do ship and invoice for any sales order, a Shipment Document and Invoice Document are created for each posting, but if you do multiple shipments and invoices at the end then you will have multiple shipment documents and 1 invoice document. In simple terms, for 1 sales order, you can have multiple shipment documents either only one invoice or multiple.

Now if I suppose every time when you post an Order you are selecting Ship & Invoice, then, in this case, the same number of Posted Shipment Document and Posted Invoice Document will create, then you can easily filter, the lines start with Order No. on any Posted Shipment or Invoice Headers, now look for their lines and filter based on Item No. and Qty from one Line table to another.
