  • The field Ship-to Code of table Sales Header contains a value (01) that cannot be found in the related table (Ship-to Address).

  • The length of the string is 13, but it must be less than or equal to 10 characters.


A Ship-To Code, sometimes called a Location Code, is a simple ID that can be used to reference a specific predefined Ship-To address within your system. This code, if sent from Transaction Manager to Dynamics 365 Business Central, will tell the system to automatically fill out the Ship-To information with the address information linked with the code itself.
