Error: "Allocation in Progress for Entity" when allocating entries in SFM

Problem

Error: "Allocation in Progress for Entity" when posting an allocation.


Environment

  1. SFM
  2. Purchase or Sales Unallocated Entries

Solution

  1. Go to Client (Current Year > Sales > Client Maintenance ) or Supplier (Current Year > Purchases > Supplier Maintenance).
  2. Highlight the Client or Supplier.
  3. Select the 'Secondary Details' tab.
  4. Press Edit.
  5. Untick 'Allocation in Progress' option.

Cause

The 'Allocation in Progress' tick box is enabled when an allocation is being done.  This is usually unticked when the allocation is complete. A network disconnection might have not unticked this and remained ticked.
