Let me fix it myself

To resolve this problem yourself, follow these steps:

1. Make a backup of your current database.
2. Have all users exit Microsoft Dynamics GP.
3. Start the Support Administrator Console, Microsoft SQL Query Analyzer, or SQL Server Management Studio. To do this, use one of the following methods, depending on the program that you are using.
   
   Method 1: For SQL Server Desktop Engine
   
   If you are using SQL Server Desktop Engine (also known as MSDE 2000), start the Support Administrator Console. To do this, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft Administrator Console, and then click Support Administrator Console.
   
   Method 2: For SQL Server 2000
   
   If you are using SQL Server 2000, start SQL Query Analyzer. To do this, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server, and then click Query Analyzer.
   
   Method 3: For SQL Server 2005
   
   If you are using SQL Server 2005, start SQL Server Management Studio. To do this, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server 2005, and then click SQL Server Management Studio.
   
4. Run the following script against the company database:
   
   

   select a.SOPNUMBE, a.SOPTYPE from
   SOP10100 a, SOP30200 b where a.SOPNUMBE = b.SOPNUMBE and a.SOPTYPE = b.SOPTYPE

   If this script returns results, you have duplicate records in your Sales Transaction Work and Sales Transactions History tables.
   
5. Run the following script against the company database:
   
   Select PSTGSTUS, BCHSOURC, VOIDSTTS,TRXSORCE, DEX_ROW_ID * from SOP10100 where SOPNUMBE = 'Enter your SOP Document number with issue'
6. Note the Dex_Row_ID value.
7. Check values in the following columns for the SOP Document. If any of these values are incorrect, the document may appear as posted.
   
   PSTGSTUS (For an unposted document, it should read "0.")
   BCHSOURC (For an unposted document, it should read "Sales Entry.")
   VOIDSTTS (For an unposted document, it should read "0.")
   TRXSORCE (For an unposted document, it should be blank.)
8. Run the following scripts against the company database to correct any of the four values from step 6:
   

   Update SOP10100 set PSTGSTUS = '0' where DEX_ROW_ID = 'XXXX'
   Update SOP10100 set BCHSOURC = 'Sales Entry' where DEX_ROW_ID = 'XXXX'
   Update SOP10100 set VOIDSTTS = '0' where DEX_ROW_ID = 'XXXX'
   Update SOP10100 set TRXSORCE = ' ' where DEX_ROW_ID = 'XXXX'

   Note In this script, the placeholder XXXX represents the Dex_Row_ID number for step 5.
9. On the Transactions menu, point to Sales, point to Sales Transaction Entry , and then accurately type the document number in question.
