How to Resolve 'Qty. per Unit of Measure' Errors in Business Central"

How to Resolve 'Qty. per Unit of Measure' Errors in Business Central" Navigating through the complexities of inventory management in Business Central can sometimes lead to encountering errors that require a deeper understanding of the system to resolve. A common issue arises when businesses need to adjust the 'Qty. per Unit of Measure' for their inventory items. This scenario is typical for companies that sell in one unit of measure but purchase in another, such as selling in pieces but buying in weight.

Understanding the Error

The challenge appears when attempting to change the 'Qty. per Unit of Measure' and an error message indicates that a modification cannot be made due to existing non-zero quantities to ship within the sales line.

One solution involves using the Configuration Package to export data for scrutiny and rectification:

  1. Export Data with Configuration Packages: Export Table 37, which contains sales lines, using the Configuration Packages feature in Business Central.

  2. Apply Item Filters: For extensive lists, apply a filter to the 'No.' field corresponding to the item that is causing the error.

  3. Review Exported Data: Examine the exported data for any entries that may be contributing to the error. These can be tied to various documents like Sales Quotes, Orders, Invoices, or Credit Memos.

  4. Correct the Issues: Once identified, address the problematic entries accordingly, which may involve finalizing or correcting the related sales lines.

  5. Retry Modifications: After the necessary adjustments have been made, attempt the 'Qty. per Unit of Measure' modification again.

This process underscores the importance of a detailed review of item entries and a thorough understanding of Business Central's functionalities. It is a testament to the value of community knowledge in troubleshooting and solving system-related issues.
