Unable to Close Inventory Period due to Open Item Ledger Entry

Hello Community Experts,

I am facing an issue while trying to close the inventory period for last month in Business Central.

During the Close Inventory Period – Test Report, the system shows that some items still have open Item Ledger Entries.

For one particular item, I found the following transaction flow:

  1. Purchase Receipt - Qty: 1
  2. Sales Shipment– Qty: 1 > These two entries are properly applied and closed.
  3. Sales Shipment - Qty: 1 > The shipment was posted against a Sales Order.
  4. While creating the invoice, the user did not link the posted shipment to the invoice. The invoice was posted separately and was later cancelled.
  5. As a result, a Sales Credit Memo was created – Qty: 1.

Currently, the 3rd ILE (Sales Shipment) is still showing as Open, which is preventing us from closing the inventory period.

For all four ILEs, the quantity is 1.

I also checked the Sales Credit Memo ILE, and the Appl.-from Item Entry is 0.

My question is:

What is the correct way to apply/close the open Sales Shipment ILE against the Sales Credit Memo ILE so that the Item Ledger Entry is closed and I can successfully close the inventory period?

I would appreciate guidance on the correct Business Central process to resolve this without creating an incorrect inventory adjustment.

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Mansi Soni
