How to get correct error message when create sales order?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi Expert,

I use web service to create a sales order and JSON data like below:

{

   number:"001",

   documentType: "Order"

}

it error out: You may not enter numbers manually. If you want to enter numbers manually, please activate Manual Nos. in No. Series S-QUO

I am confused this message, since I am creating a sales order, why this message is related Quote?

Could anyone shed me some lights on it?

    Hi

    Check what is the No. Series you have selected for Sales Order in Sales & Receivable Setup.

    For those No. Series, you must enable Manual Nos.  boolean.

    And also try to insert the Document Type first. Since the first option is Quote, when you validate the No. before Document Type, it tries to insert a Quote.

    {

     documentType: "Order"

      number:"001",

    }
