Shipment Record Error - Status of employee is inactive


Attempting to create a Shipment from Sales Order.  I receive an error due to a former employee record being inactive.   I cannot find anywhere on the Sales Order or Customer Account where the former employee record has any connection?    Actual error recieved:  Inserting ‘Shipment’ Record raised at least one error. Please review the errors The status of employee Mikes is ‘inactive’?  This employee record has been inactive for over a year and has never caused this error prior.  I don’t know where else to look for the possible connection in Acumatica?

Is MikeS the owner of the business account on the order?  We just ran into a similar issue with scheduled AP payments--if the owner of the original payment is an inactive employee, it can’t create scheduled payments.  So I just tested in our sandbox inactivating the employee record of a business account owner, and I get the same error you do.  Ironically there’s no issue creating the order, but creating the shipment complains that the employee record is inactive.

That was it!  Thank you!  Wow, I wouldn’t have thought Business Accounts, I was too locked in that it had to be something tied to the Customer under Receivables.   I now have some Business Accounts to clean up.
