I see two problems. One is that the subquery uses TOP without an
ORDER BY. Without ORDER BY, TOP simply returns any one row.
The other is that the subquery's FROM clause should NOT include the
table being updated.
Try something along the lines of this:
UPDATE HPFSLOWMOVING
SET LASTRCTDATE =
(SELECT TOP 1 DOCDATE
FROM IV30300
WHERE HPFSLOWMOVING.ITEMNMBR = IV30300.ITEMNMBR
AND HPFSLOWMOVING.LOCNCODE = IV30300.LOCNCODE
AND DOCTYPE = 4
ORDER BY ??????)
