Fishbowl Advanced error

Fishbowl: Sales orders may only have specific statuses

Sales OrderSales Order

What it means

Fishbowl restricts sales orders to three statuses: Estimate, Issued, or Historical. You tried to perform an operation on a sales order that’s in an invalid status. Usually this means the order is stuck in a transitional state, was changed by an API or bulk operation that didn’t account for sales orders, or the operation you’re attempting isn’t valid for that status.

What to check

  • Verify the sales order’s current status. It should be one of: Estimate (10), Issued (20), or Historical (95).
  • Determine how it got into an invalid status. Was it changed by a third-party integration or bulk update?
  • Review what action you were trying to perform when the error appeared. Some operations only work from specific statuses.
  • If the status is incorrect or stuck, you may need to manually correct it or contact an administrator.
