Repair Outbound Delivery and the Complete Delivery Flag

Home / Blog / Repair Outbound Delivery and the Complete Delivery Flag

I recently encountered an issue that had me baffled for longer than I care to admit.  I would run through the RAS service process, get all the way to the outbound delivery, but the delivery would always issue a warning about the complete delivery flag.  So I quickly went to my own system, did an example and couldn’t replicate the same issue.  So I started checking configuration

  • requirements type
  • schedule lines
  • item categories
  • order types
  • deliveries
  • delivery item category
  • etc…

Every place I looked was set up the same.  Finally, I had no choice to but to go into Debug.  So after spending a while in there, finally found a reference to a flag LIPS-UPFLU.  I didn’t recognize this field, when to look at it and found it was talking about update the document flow.  Lightbulb!!!  I finally decided to look at copy control to the delivery.  It turned out for the newly created item category, the update document flow check box was blank.  As soon as I updated this to X, the delivery created without the message.  Even after all these years, I still run into things I haven’t seen before.  Hard to believe what a big difference one little checkbox can make 🙂
