'Copy Document' function DOES NOT copy the values of 'Receipt No.' and 'Receipt Line No.' fields

Hi,

I need answer(s) for the question(s) below :slight_smile:

We use NAV 2009 R2 v3.70.

I experienced that the ‘Copy Document’ function on Purchase Invoice DID NOT copy the values of ‘Receipt No.’ and ‘Receipt Line No.’ fields.

I wanted to create a new Purchase Invoice from a previously entered but not-Posted Purchase Invoice where all the PRD documents were referenced properly, i.e. in every item lines ‘Receipt No.’ and ‘Receipt Line No.’ fields were filled.

I didn’t want / I was not able to post this previously entered but not-Posted Purchase Invoice because of a special reason.

Since it had hundreds of lines I didn’t want to collect again all the PRD documents by the ‘Get Receipt Lines’ function.

Since non-Posted Purchase Invoices don’t “close” the referenced PRD documents I can’t see the reason why the ‘Copy Document’ function does not take into account these information as well.

So,

  1. Is there any Setup option by which we could change this operation of ‘Copy Document’ function ?

  2. Or it’s a feature of Copy Document’ function and we have to find a workaround ?

Thanks,

Zs.

Welcome to DUG!!!

You need to look into the routine /code for the same.

It might be bug or somebody modified something in program/copy document function.

Thanks Amol.

Unfortunately I don’t have right to check the source code.

We are a subsidiray of a legal parent … w/o any documentation.

Could you please send me a small part of NAVI User Guide which describes the operation of ‘Copy Document’ function on ‘Purchase Invoice’ documents and in which I could see that this function “wants” to copy PRD-references as well ?

Unfortunately I received a feedback from our foreign colleagues in which they considered such operation of ‘Copy Document’ function as a feature and not a bug …

Thanks again,

Zs.

HI,

Copy document can not copy the receipt no and receipt line no to the invoice… it is always standard navision function get reciept liens which can facilitate this and allow you to post your invoices against the reciepts.

so for now to fix your history you need to consult dynamics solution provider or a programmer.

in future if you want to map invoices against receipts then always use function get receipt lines.

Thanks,

Anil.

Hi Anil,

thanks for your reply.

Perhaps it’s a feature of ’Copy Document’ function, but it’s an absolutely unreasonable one in my eyes (moreover in my mind !!! :-D).

Why am I saying it ?

1.) I DID NOT WANT to copy lines from POSTED Purchase Invoice.

Since it REALLY would have been stupidity, because a POSTED Purchase Invoice had already “closed” all referenced PRDs.

So if ‘Copy Document’ function DOES NOT WORK from POSTED Purchase Invoices then it’s more than OK … :wink:

2.) Actually I DO WANTED to use ‘Copy Document’ function to copy lines from an other non-POSTED Purchase Invoice !!!

I had in it hundreds of PRD references entered before, so I simply didn’t want to play with the ‘Get Receipt Lines’ function again.

So copying ‘Receipt No.’ and ‘Receipt Line No.’ fields from a non-Posted Purchase Invoice does not mean any risk.

That’s why I hope this operation of ‘Copy Document’ function can be changed via a Setup option …

Rgds,

Zs.
