Re: B1 Upgrade tests - note 1729457

Hi  Frederik Lootens

The solution given in the Notes have you tried that is the only way to solve your issue.

Symptom

When upgrading your company database to SAP Business One 9.0 or later for the first time, you encounter the following warning message during the pre-upgrade check: “In-process inventory tracking records exist”.

Cause

The inventory taking process is changed in SAP Business One 9.0, and therefore the in-process inventory tracking records in SAP Business One 8.82 or earlier cannot be upgraded to SAP Business One 9.0 or later. When ongoing inventory tracking is identified, a warning message appears to warn you against potential loss of data and propose to finalize the counting prior to upgrade.

Solution

To find the in-process inventory tracking records, run the following query:

SELECT ItemCode, WhsCode, Counted, 'Counted Data exists'

FROM OITW

WHERE WasCounted = 'Y' or (WasCounted = 'Y' and counted <> 0)

Then choose one of the following options to solve the issue:

• To reset inventory tracking to clear all existing tracking records, do the following:

1. In SAP Business One, choose Inventory -> Inventory Transactions -> Inventory Opening Balances, Inventory Tracking, and Inventory Posting, and then choose the Inventory Tracking tab.
2. Specify your selection criteria according to the query results, and choose OK.
3. In the Inventory Tracking window, choose Reset to clear the existing records.

• To end inventory tracking by reconciling the counted differences in inventory posting, do the following:

1. In SAP Business One, choose Inventory -> Inventory Transactions -> Inventory Opening Balances, Inventory Tracking, and Inventory Posting, and then choose the Inventory Posting tab.
2. Specify your selection criteria according to the query results, and choose OK.
3. In the Inventory Posting window, select the price source for the items, and choose Reconcile.

• For inactive items, you should first go to Inventory -> Item Master Data, find this item and set it to active status, then choose one of the above 2 options to reset inventory tracking or end inventory tracking. After that, you can go to item master data again and change the item back to inactive status.

You can export the inventory tracking records to Excel or print out the records to save the detailed tracking information before resetting or reconciling.

Hope Helpful

Regards
