Sales Order Line Is Under Preparation

SOLVED

Does anyone know what this means?  We don't use "preparation".  We started getting this error message recently, sometimes we can blow by it and sometimes we can't.  This particular product is not managed so there is nothing to allocate.  When you hit ok it still won't let you invoice.

    It did not.  There was nothing to deallocate.  Nothing came up when I ran the UTIVEN03 utility.  I had stuff come up in the stock resync but not for this product.  What does the stock resync actually do?  What is this telling me?

    The thing out of the ordinary was last week someone changed an already existing product code from one product category code to another and I'm thinking we are getting some wierd things happen because of that.  But that product is not on this sales order.

    Regarding to your question on stock resync, it's a utility to sync up your inventory in various tables. X3 keeps inventory balance and value in different forms. For example, it's keeps a FIFO stack base on each receipt with quantity and value. So if you decided to use FIFO valuation, the system can keep track of the cost and quantity. X3 also keeps the average cost and total inventory in a separate table. In theory, your total quantity on your FIFO stack should always be the same as total inventory. And your average cost should be the same as your  total value on your FIFO stack divided by the total quantity. However. if for whatever reason these number are not agreeing with each other, the stock resync function will make the adjustment so they will agree.  

    In your case, it's showing the Average cost on product 111553 has been adjusted from $1.3451 to $1.345137 and the material cost portion of the average cost breakdown has been adjusted from $1.3451 to $1.345137.

    Thank you, that was the best explanation I've received!  I found a prep list associated with the sales order I'm have trouble with.  I found it in the sales order right list under options, then status.  Do you know where I go to find that list so I can delete it by any chance?

    Try "Sales -> Shipment Preparation -> Preparation Plan". I haven't done this for a while, so I am not sure how to delete it. Maybe turn it into pick ticket and delete the pick ticket?
