The issue appeared to be in a batch/invoice --- the ""distributed"" flag was set to N (I ran a crystal against SO_InvoiceDetail to find the line where distributed = N and valuation = 5 (lot) ) then went into invoice data entry to the batch and invoice # and distributed the line.
I'm not sure why the system kept prompting for a shipper password -- and rejecting. Sage wasn't sure either. It's possible that it has to do with an enhancement or maybe it could be a Sage bug.
