Number series skipping

vijayanderson

Hi Friends,

When I post the Sales Invoice from order (Partial invoicing) , the Posted invoice number is getting skipped. The reason being is that ,the posted invoice number is getting populated in posting no in sales order Header even before posting.

The field gets populated when following error occurs
We have a Item tracking for the items, so when the user forgets to give the Item track number, it throws an error, at that time the posting number gets stored in the Sales Header.

Can someone suggest a solution for this.

Thanks & Regards,
Vijay

I don't think it's supposed to actually populate a number, just the numbering series.

It actually does get a number for shipment and sales invoice.

  IF Ship AND ("Shipping No." = '') THEN
    IF ("Document Type" = "Document Type"::Order) OR
       (("Document Type" = "Document Type"::Invoice) AND SalesSetup."Shipment on Invoice")
    THEN BEGIN
      TESTFIELD("Shipping No. Series");
      "Shipping No." := NoSeriesMgt.GetNextNo("Shipping No. Series","Posting Date",TRUE);
      ModifyHeader := TRUE;
    END;

  IF Receive AND ("Return Receipt No." = '') THEN
    IF ("Document Type" = "Document Type"::"Return Order") OR
       (("Document Type" = "Document Type"::"Credit Memo") AND SalesSetup."Return Receipt on Credit Memo")
    THEN BEGIN
      TESTFIELD("Return Receipt No. Series");
      "Return Receipt No." := NoSeriesMgt.GetNextNo("Return Receipt No. Series","Posting Date",TRUE);
      ModifyHeader := TRUE;
    END;

  IF Invoice AND ("Posting No." = '') THEN BEGIN
    IF ("No. Series" <> '') OR
       ("Document Type" IN ["Document Type"::Order,"Document Type"::"Return Order"])
    THEN
      TESTFIELD("Posting No. Series");
    IF ("No. Series" <> "Posting No. Series") OR
       ("Document Type" IN ["Document Type"::Order,"Document Type"::"Return Order"])
    THEN BEGIN
      "Posting No." := NoSeriesMgt.GetNextNo("Posting No. Series","Posting Date",TRUE);
      ModifyHeader := TRUE;
    END;
  END;

You can comment the commit

  IF ModifyHeader THEN BEGIN
    MODIFY;
    COMMIT;
  END;

but this will cause longer locking of the tables so anybody creating orders items, etc will be locked until the SO is posted.

The Numbers do not get skipped, you just haven't posted the order yet, once you post the order they will retain the number they posted on first time.

Hi Aran,

What you are saying is correct, only after posting the SO is complete but, the shipment is done by warehouse department, so they assign the lot number. once the error occurs Invoice department will not post the corresponding order , which would be posted at later date. so the Order gets posted after series of number have been posted.

So Client feel as tough number is getting skipped.

if possible suggest a remedy

It's how nav works, One solution is to comment out the commits as I mentioned but it has drawbacks.
