Hi everyone,

I have the following case in a purchase order:

By mistake with a configuration package the field Quantity Invoiced was filled but the PO isn't post already. When we try to put in blank this field the error "This will cause the quantity and base quantity fields to be out of balance" is showing.

We would like to know if is there a way to solve this issue.

Thanks in advance for any answer that could help.

Regards,

Alejandro B

You can make it 0 by configuration package again by not validating the Quantity Invoiced field.

Hello,

Can you please investigate the page with Ctrl+Alt+F1 and compare field values Quantity<=>Quantity(Base) and Qty. to Invoice<=> Qty. to Invoice(Base). The error must be the result of discrepancy of those fields.

I think that Item tracking is used, and this message states, that the Item Tracking lines will have to be updated manually.
