Drop Shipment

ref

Hi

When using drop shipment NAV require that, the sales order has been invoice before the purchase order can be invoiced.
Our customer is using drop shipment on close all their sales orders. They also receive many of their purchase invoice via an XML-file. When we receive the purchase invoice, we try to post the purchase invoice (based on the XML-file) but often the sales order hasn’t been posted and therefor our code set the XML-file on wait in a loop until the sales order has been posted.

However, this behavior causes extra work in their processes and they want to be able to post the purchase invoice before the sales order. As far as I have tested, we keep running into conflicts with reservations etc. They are running NAV 2013 but the functionality has been there for years.

Any of you who have a suggestion?

I had this problem some years ago on version 3
We choosed to comment out the test in CU90 to see if the sales order is invoiced.
But you should be aware of all impacts that may occur on the validation process if you apply this method.

I remember we did a similar thing and we event tried this in NAV 7. But it seems that we keeping running into issues with Drop shipment etc. That’s why I opened the issue
