We are on the 11/04 ISTech update and have default set to set packslip same as invoice.  Mostly this works quite nicely.  
 
Lately we have found that on some SO's when released in SO-E, the shipper number comes in as an old number from ???  and is out of sequence with the next invoice number  ???  Also, the ship date is filled in as 11/14/03.   We have always had random dates pop-up.  I can blank out the ship date but can't change the shipper number.  Why would this happen??
 
Thanks for the feedback.

Yes, I would suggest Maintain Database on BKARHIVL to get rid of the extra lines and reassign the one from the second shipment to a new BKARHINV record with a new invocie number.

We are still having a heck of a time with the feature to coordinate invoice and packing slip numbers.  
 
In addition to having random sales orders pull in a really old (previously used) packing number in SOE,  we have found that once a release is done in SOE, DBA grabs the next invoice number AND, if the release is cancelled (with no invoice or packing slip printed) the invoice number is not made available for the next shipment ( we have an invoice number which appears to be lost).  
 
To fix the first part of the problem I have gone into SDQ to reset the feature and have tried to reset the next packing slip number. This seemed to work for awhile but again SO releases pull up old ship dates and old shipper numbers.  
 
Don't know what to do about the last part.
 
Is this feature working ok for  everyone  else???  No one responded to my previous post
 
Lynn, Perhaps we have set this up the wrong way? - I hope so but can't figure.
 
thanks.

Lynn -
I took a peek but did not proceed.  I definitely need more direction on this.  What do you mean by   "replace all values with blank"?

I understand the steps but I trying to make sure I understand what we end up with after this process - don't know what  the  field BKAR.INV.SHIPPR refers to. Would I be replacing shipper data in all open sales orders?
 
 
thanks

We are also having a difficult time in the coordination of shipper no's and invoice no's.
 
We have a number of customers who do not receive invoices from us but use the shipper no to generate their own internal invoices. We print a invoice here to file with the job folder and also to help track payments, therefor, it is alot easier to track by Invoice number rather than referencing a shipper no.
 
This update works great, BUT, everyonce in awhile, the counters get out of whack and when caught we go into SD-N and reset the numbers.  
 
I wonder if it would be easier to be able to change the shipper no at the realease screen and when saved the shipper would automatically pull the matching invoice?

We have just had occurence of old shipper/invoice  numbers being reused (randomly) by DBA.  Just released about 13 sales orders and 4 of them picked up old numbers  
 
 
We could really use help to fix this once and for all.
 
thanks
