Article • 3/12/2025 • 1 min read

In Business Central, deleting a warehouse shipment despite the warning can cause significant issues, particularly when item and license plate reservations are created during the picking process.

Solving the issues in order to get the correct quantities to be shipped, and the correct non-reserved quantities are available be picked from the warehouse, can give you several hours of extra work.

To avoid this, we recommend the following settings to be taken in consideration:

  1. Select the Search icon , enter Logistics Statuses, and then choose the related link.
  2. On the Logistics Statuses page, filter the Type field to License Plate.
    Select the Block Warehouse Shipment Deletion checkbox. Hover over the field to read a short description.

Do not select this checkbox on Logistic Statuses page for items that already have the Allowed on Post Shipment checkbox selected. This prevents you from fully post the warehouse shipment, as it will be automatically deleted.
