Outstanding quantity in item ledger entry

xavigepe

Hi. What's the use of the field "outstanding quantity" in item ledger entry table?. I want to undo a shipment and I can't because outstanding quantity <> quantity. Is there a workaround to avoid this?.

Thanks,

It represents how many you have left, or in your instance I believe how many are un-invoiced. You have part invoiced the order, therefore you cannot unship it.

Imagine that you buy 10, you then decide you did not receive them so want to unreceive them, however you have sold 2, this would mean the outstanding quantity is 8. The system will not let you send something back to the supplier when you have sold it on, so it prevents the un-receipt.

Essentially you have processed it onwards to a state whereby the unship or unreceipt cannot be processed.
