The record in table Sales Invoice Header already exists. Identification fields and values: No.=

Posted on by

Hello,

I am trying to delete (or post) a Sales order but I get  the following messages:

"Delete 31748 ∙........?" I press Yes

"Deleting this document will cause a gap in the number series for shipments. An empty shipment 02038 will be created to fill this gap in the number series. Do you want to continue?" I press Yes

"Deleting this document will cause a gap in the number series for posted invoices. An empty posted invoice 1683 will be created to fill this gap in the number series. Do you want to continue?"   I press Yes

"The record in table Sales Invoice Header already exists. Identification fields and values: No.='1683'. 

I cant delete the Sales order. I tried changing the customer and posting the order but still get the same message "The record in table Sales Invoice Header already exists. Identification fields and values: No.='1683'. 

I already have invoice issued with No.='1683' number for another customer. It looks like the same number is reserved  for the not posted order, but at the same time the system generated posted sales invoice with this number.

My invoices and posted invoices are with different numbers.

Can someone help please?
