Hi,

My accounts was trying to retrieve GRN from Purchase orders, however, she encounter the error below.

I have checked that the no series for the company is still good. It runs till 2022. Hence I'm not sure why Navision complain that the No. Series is empty.

Appreciate your help.

Thank you.

Hi,

I will try to explain the flow.

When you create a new document it will get the related No. Series (in your case Receiving No. Series) from setup (Purchases & Payables Setup in your case) table and put it in the field Receiving No. Series field. If there is no No. Series setup then on creation it will not give any error but when you try to post/receive it then it will check for No. series and to get a No from that No. series and on finding this field empty will throw an error.

In your case I think what happens is that when this order is created there is no Receiving No series setup in the Purchases & Payables setup and now when you try to post/receive it checks Receiving No. series field value and give error. Now even if you fill the value in Purchases & Payable setup it will not be updated in already created Purchase Order.

Check if you have filled Receiving No series in Purchases & Payables then create a new Purchase Order because from user end you might not be able to update this field's value. But if you access to development environment then run page 38 Purchase Header, go to that specific record and put value in Receiving No series.

Check purchases & payable setup if you have Receiving No. Series, most probably you may have that, in order to fix this issue, you need to manually update the purchase header with the Receiving No. series you can do it using process report or trying opening the table updating that value to the Receiving No. Series.

May I ask how does Receiving No series looks like in Navision?

You can open No. Series page to see all available and created No. Series. You can create your own No. Series also but remember to associate line with it. See below:

After creating No. Series you can put it in setup for use as below

You can go through this short free course by Microsoft to understand how to setup them.

Hi Bilal,

I can see that it has already been set up in the Purchase and Payment Set up

Also, in the no series, I have already set it up previously.

So is there anywhere I can still check?

I'm still puzzled as to why the error happen.

The error might occur because it was an order made before you have setup no series. Create a new Purchase Order now and try to receive it in a test company.
