Symptoms

Customer enters standalone purchase orders (OT) which are used used to move inventory into branch/location. The shipments/loads which hare automatically created for these type of PO's are not really processed. When the orders are received using P4312 the orders are closed to status 999, however the shipments/loads at that point are still at status 30 - Approved.
Then, in order to remove the shipment, the shipment detail is removed from the order using P4915 which triggers a new shipment created at status 10. Now when an Auto Load build process is run which is based on a custom UBE it picks up the new shipments at status 10 and adds them to new loads.


Steps to Duplicate:
1. enter Purchase order which creates shipments and add shipment to a load
2. Approve load -> Status 30
3. receive the order using standalone P4312
4. Note that order is at status 999 but shipment/load is at status 30
5. Remove shipment detail from order using P4915 - work with shipments which generates a new shipment
