    This must be a restriction within Continia?  Business Central does not restrict you from listing the same Item/Vendor/UOM combination with multiple Reference Numbers.
     
    I would suggest you reach out to your partner or Continia consultant to resolve the issue.

    Yes, it's possible to have multiple active reference codes for an item in Continia, even if they have the same unit of measure. However, you will likely need to configure Continia to recognize and handle these different references correctly during matching.
     
    Hope this will help you!

    Maybe this will help clarify things.
     
    In standard Business Central, you can only have one active item reference per vendor, per unit of measure. That means if both your carton reference and SKU code use the same UoM (e.g., PCS), the system will throw an error.
     
    ✅ Workarounds:
     
    Use different Units of Measure (e.g., PCS for SKU, CTN for carton) to allow both references.
     
    Or maintain one reference as active and the second as an additional field (e.g., custom field or cross-reference in description).
     
    In Continia Document Capture, consider configuring advanced matching rules or using custom mapping to handle multiple codes per item.
     
     
    If your use case is complex, you may need a customization or workaround via Continia settings.
     
    Mark below checkbox to make this answer Verified if it helps you. Let me know if you want help adjusting UoMs or mapping in Continia.

    Continia is not a standard feature of BC. This is probably a problem with their product. I suggest you contact their support directly.
     
    Thanks.

    Hello,
     
    It is possible to generate different product references, it is probably a Continia problem. I recommend to submit a support ticket.
     
    I hope I can help.
     
    Best regards,
