title: "BC Friday Tips #56 Understand Missing Fields in Copy Documents"
summary: Some Sales Order fields do not carry over to posted shipments and invoices. For example, Shipping Agent Code and Shipping Agent Service Code exist on both Sales Header and Sales Line but only reach the Sales Shipment Header and Sales Invoice Header. As a result, copying from a posted invoice can leave fields blank, and the post recommends copying from an archived sales order instead.

# BC Friday Tips #56 Understand Missing Fields in Copy Documents

[Read the post](https://thatnavguy.com/blog/2025/bc-friday-tips-56-understand-missing-fields-in-copy-documents/) · That NAV Guy (Teddy Herryanto, MVP) · 2025-11-14 · 133 words · tier community · reviewed (checked by Opus)

> Some Sales Order fields do not carry over to posted shipments and invoices. For example, Shipping Agent Code and Shipping Agent Service Code exist on both Sales Header and Sales Line but only reach the Sales Shipment Header and Sales Invoice Header. As a result, copying from a posted invoice can leave fields blank, and the post recommends copying from an archived sales order instead.

## Key points

- Copying from Posted Sales Invoice can result in missing fields compared to copying from Archived Sales Order
- Field inconsistencies across related documents need awareness to prevent data loss during document workflows
- Understanding which fields transfer between document types helps maintain data accuracy
