Error correcting the unit of measurement or number of boxes in 1C

This error most often occurs if you have a modified version of 1C, where mandatory barcode filling for items is provided for. When trying to correct an already posted document, the system may conflict with these modifications, which leads to the failure.

How to Solve the Problem

A working method that helped in a similar situation is not to try to fix the existing receipt document, but to recreate the receipt invoice from scratch. In doing so, it's important to correctly fill in all fields right away, including the item barcodes required in your modified configuration.

So the procedure is as follows:

1. Create a new receipt document to replace the problematic one.

2. Re-enter all line items — quantity, units of measurement, boxes.

3. Fill in the fields mandatory for your version, including barcodes.

4. Post the document.

This allows you to avoid the conflict that arises when trying to edit an already existing document with incomplete or incorrectly filled data.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why can't I just fix the old document?

Because the configuration modification requires certain fields (such as barcodes) that may not have been filled in the original document. The system does not allow changes to be correctly posted on top of such a document — hence the error.

How do I know if I have a modified version?

If the standard 1C configuration does not require mandatory barcode filling on receipt, but your system insists on it — this means the configuration has been modified for your processes. In this case, the document handling logic may differ from the standard one, and standard fixing methods don't always work.

Is there a way to avoid recreating the document in the future?

To avoid encountering this error again, try to fill in all fields required by your modified version right away when creating a receipt, including item barcodes — this will reduce the risk of similar failures during subsequent corrections.

Frequently asked questions

Why can't I just fix the old document?
Because the configuration modification requires certain fields (for example, barcodes) that may not have been filled in the original document. The system does not allow changes to be correctly processed on top of such a document — hence the error.
How can I understand that I have a modified version?
If the standard typical 1C configuration does not require mandatory barcode entry upon receipt, but your system insists on it — this means the configuration was customized for your processes. In this case, the logic of working with documents may differ from the standard one, and standard correction methods do not always work.
Is there a way to avoid recreating the document in the future?
To avoid encountering this error again, try to fill in all the fields required by your modified version right when creating the receipt, including item barcodes — this will reduce the risk of such failures during subsequent corrections.
