(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 48

Hello MS Family,

I am seeing the following errors upon attempting to Post a Shipment directly from the Sales Order. Error relates to a Sales Shipment Header, but the are no Warehouse Documents invloved.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

    Maybe you sales shipment no. series it out of sync so you need to change the last no. used ?

    You find that number series in the sales and receivables setup.

    Not related to your case but we had the same issue with our Sales Shipment and we had one Sales Shipment with No **** . We could not figure out how that shipment created. But it was causing a lot of issue. We asked our partner to renumber that shipment and that solved the issue. Can you find the shipment with *** number?

    I found the Posted Sales Shipments and the Posted Sales Invoices, I suppose I would need to delete these?

    Yes those definitely should be deleted especially  if they are empty.

    Just make sure they are empty before you delete (specially invoice) Otherwise you need a developer to create report to renumber them.
