Hi Guys
User encountered an error NAV complaining item does not exist and i found out that warehouse receipt has been done from the and when a user tries to perform purchase invoice from the receipt, NAV repond by returning Item xxx. does not exist and after the warehouse receipt the item code has been changed by a whs user.
my question why is that allowed to be performed on the fist place by NAV is it normal situation or a bug
NAV 2017 Version
In NAV 2017 a change has been done: in table 37, field 6:“No.”, property ValidateTableRelation has been sat “No”.
This cause that a rename of Item (and Resource, and G/L Account…) is NOT performed in Sales Lines.
In Cumulative update #4 this has been taken care of: in Item trigger Rename a call to new functions in tables 37 and 39 is performed to make a manual rename of Item No.s there.
The same in Rename-triggers in tables 15, 156, 5600 and 5800.
I mentioned table 37:“Sales Line”; the same goes for table 39:“Purchase Line”.
Is you ask me - a very stupid way by Microsoft to handle this issue - from the beginning.
It is done so that user is able to write e.g. an Item-description into the No.-field. And that way (by code) get the item wanted.
Far better solution would be to have a local variable in the page to catch the user-input and handle it from there.
And leave the standard No.-field.
This issue has caused me and a customer several hours in work. And not chargable, unfortunately.
Sorry, Microsoft, in Danish language this is what is called “en ommer” - “a make-it-better”.
Oh yes, that functionality is an example of one of the many “modernization’s” of the code Microsoft did, when they build the SMB-UI for Dynamics 365 for Financials. Functionality which is surely more suited for mom-and-pop shops, who should be able to just start a D365 subscription and start using it, than the typical NAV customer. Don’t think we would hear many cries if that disappeared again. Would not even call it an “ommer”, Microsoft should simply remove it.
And by the way [mention:98b8298d92d746fca7e23e690e73072b:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05], did NAV 2017 cumulative update 4 fix it, or did it break it? [emoticon:41d3875e132d40cdaee3dc767007b788]
