Importing into purchase order Receipt header We are trying to import Receipt of invoice and we assign ""I"" to receipt type field all records fail with the message ""receipt type is required"" if we change the field to ""G"" we don't' get the message. has anyone seen this?

Have the items been received in ?

Are they set to post to AP?

Not sure if this applies, but I have seen instances where the order of assignment can make a HUGE difference in the success of a VI import. Does the receipt type field still have an 'I' in it in the failures?

thanks for the ideas, both valid thoughts, but it turned out that it was because we had the batch number set to ""IMPRT"" Instead of using numbers another ""unhelpful"" error message from Sage during imports. ARRRGGHH

Unhelpful messages not just related to imports. I've been running into error messages (inside the Desktop) that are confusing. For example, if a customer record has an invalid Primary Ship to code, when entering a sales order for the customer the message ""Is this a new customer?"" appears after entering the customer number. The issue is an invalid Primary Ship to, not the customer number. Sloppy programming.
