We are currently on version 2025 R2. We are having an issue where Inventory is released when a Sales order is Invoiced. However, we need that to happen when Shipment is confirmed. We have verified that the check box “Automatically Update IN Documents” in Sales Order Preferences is Checked. We have also looked at the workflow in the customization of the sales order screen but haven’t gotten anything within there to work. Has anyone had this issue before?

Update inventory when Shipment Confirmed on Sales Order
Best answer by bwhite49
You can add a schedule to the “process shipments” screen to run the update IN action. On the scheduler you would add a condition where status = confirmed.
Just be aware that one you start releasing inventory transactions, you will no longer be able to correct the shipment. This is why most companies relieve inventory on invoice release rather than shipment confirmation.

I dont see an option in the scheduler within the process shipment where is says anything about UpdateIN.

+12Should look like this ...
I guess you don’t need to add the confirmed condition as only confirmed shipments show in the list anyway.

+12Interesting. It might be disabled by access rights?
That action has been stock in every version I have worked with, but it is also the most common action to hide from users via access rights.

I am logged in with Administrator rights. Could Access rights to something like that be affected when upgrading to another version?

+12Make sure you have minimal roles.
1)Admin
2)Dashboard designer
3)Customizer
4)Odata
Don’t have things assigned like SO Clerk or IN Shipper.

I am one of the Admins… I’m in the appropriate groups. Wouldn’t put myself in those low level ones.

+12OK, I would reach out to your VAR to investigate why the action is missing for you. It could be access rights or a customization hiding it.
