Cannot create partial shipment in Warehouse Shipment

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 83
I am trying to create a Warehouse Shipment from a Sales Order with a partial quantity to ship by changing the quantity to prepare column (the customer ordered 8 pieces, and we want to ship just 5, for example), but I am getting the following error message:

This will cause the quantity and base quantity fields to be out of balance.

[...]
AL call stack:
/Unit of Measure Management/(CodeUnit 5402).ValidateQtyIsBalanced line 9 - Base Application by Microsoft
/Warehouse Shipment Line/(Table 7321).ValidateQuantityIsBalanced line 9 - Base Application by Microsoft

/Get Source Documents/(Report 5753)./Sales Line - OnAfterGetRecord/(Trigger) line 47 - Base Application by Microsoft

Of course, I can create complete warehouse shipments (the customer ordered 8 pieces and quantity to prepare is set to 8). Also, the same manipulation for a partial shipment on another company on a different environment works without error. There must be a difference in how the item or locations (or something else) are set up, but I don't seem to find which one.

Thank you for your help

    In case anyone else has a similar problem:

    I had to contact our vendors for BC: it was a typo in a line of code that they corrected in another instance, but not in this one.
     
    Problem solved.

    Thank you for the suggestion, but it was one of the first things I checked and all clients have partial deliveries turned on. It is something else.

    Did you check the Shipping Advice field on the customer card whether customer accepts partial shipments?
