It is possible to end up with this error and stack trace if you have a finished physical inventory order that you try and post, when you have an item in your physical inventory recording that has a lot number as well as requiring an expiration date but that expiration date is not filled in:

"Expiration Date must have a value in Tracking Specification: Entry No.=1. It cannot be zero or empty.

This is incredibly frustrating to users as it does not tell them the problem. Instead the only way to fix this is to create a copy environment to debug it and then inform the users accordingly. This can be incredibly time consuming and does come at a cost for the partner involved.

It would be better to have the item no. and physical inventory recording line no. rater than a temporary item tracking line that points to an entry which the user cannot see.

This makes the physical inventory order difficult to understand why it isn't posting as the error message isn't very informative.
