CMs not applying to item ledger

Have a couple of item ledger entries that are not being closed out and in turn we cannot close inventory periods.
 
Looks like the common element is that these are sales shipments that take the inventory negative and when they issue a corrective credit memo on the sales invoice that the credit is not offsetting the shipment record and in turn leaving the item ledger entry open.   Both records show (same date, correct quantities) but they CM is not applying to the sales shipment.  Can this be corrected thru a standard feature or do we have to manually correct?

    Your positive adjustment entry has the status of not open, so its applied to something. Usually this entry is applied to the sales invoice, but in this case its not as the sales invoice has the status of open. Can you select the positive adjustment entry and click on applied entries to see what its being applied to?
     
    Also, in the inventory setup page do you allow negative inventory? And in the sales & receivables setup page, do you have exact cost reversing set to yes?

    The two entries are open.  How can you apply them using the worksheet?

    Hello rcboiler,
     
    If you have both entries in Item ledger entries open, then you could apply them through Application Worksheet like Valentin said.
     
    I did not understand what did you mean when you said that worksheet does not help as you cannot remove/apply? You will need to apply entries in this situation, or please say this another way so we can understand why you cannot use Appl Worksheet.
     
    Also, you can paste us that two rows from ILE so we can have a better info and solution for you.
     
    Greetings

    Same location, no bins, no item tracking.
     
    The items are open, so the worksheet does not help as you cannot remove/apply.

    not sure if negative inventory is the normal business practices in your case. It's generally not recommended due to potential complications to inventory/costing. But you could try to use an inbound transaction such as a transfer order to offset the negative inventory.

    Are both entries the same location? Same bin if you have bins? Same lot/serial no.? You can try to use the Application Worksheet to try to apply them together - Remove and Reapply Item Entries - Business Central | Microsoft Learn
