You receive "Unhandled Script Exception: Invalid Product ID 258" when attempting drill-down into an invoice from Purchasing All-In-One view

Just recently, I was helping someone on a forum with a question regarding the Purchasing All-In-One view. The consultant could not get the view to show the receipts and invoices for some vendor POs. In order to assist with the issue, I had to try and recreate the issue myself. Needless to say, I could not recreate the specific problem reported by the consultant. However, in an attempt to drill-down on a specific invoice voucher, I received the following error message:

Unhandled script exception:
Invalid Product ID 258.

 EXCEPTION_CLASS_SCRIPT_OUT_OF_RANGE
SCRIPT_CMD_CALL




Product 258 corresponds to Project Accounting. Suffice to say, there isn't any validation in place to determine if the Project Accounting dictionary is present, before attempting to display the invoice. The workaround, of course, is to install Project Accounting even if you don't need it, until a fix is in place from Microsoft.

This issue is present in Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 R2 YE (14.00.1016) and Microsoft Dynamics GP 2016 RTM (16.00.0404). I have not tested GP 2016 R2, but see no specific reason to believe this is been fixed, given the fact that this condition only occurs if Project Accounting is not installed.


Until next post!

It appears the workaround for this issue is to turn project accounting on in registration and then to turn if back off. Error then goes away when drilling into invoices.

I can confirm this is still a problem in GP 2016 R2.

I can confirm the problem still exists on GP2016R2 and the workaround still resolves the issue.

There is nothing that needs to be fixed around this, typically what it is happening is that PA is marked in the registration window, but you do not have PA installed. If PA is NOT installed then UNMARK it in the registration window.
Thanks

Terry,
This IS a problem that could be handled better with a simple line of code that checks if the PA dictionary is installed:

if (Launch_GetProdPosition(258) > 0) and ('Module Registered'[5] of globals) then
{ your PA call here}
end if;

DBMS: 12 Microsoft Dynamics GP: 0 error when updating to Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 R2

Hello all! It's been quite a while since I've actually written anything of remote interest to anyone who follows my blog, but at the same time, you will be pleased to know that I've been quite busy in the consulting front, with upgrades, server migrations, complex multi-instance postings involving 10's of thousands of transactions, wrapping up some Field Service Automation projects, and the list goes on and on. This time around I want to bring to the forefront, an issue I encountered updating  from Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 SP2 to Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 R2 plus the latest service pack. Background My client requested a server migration to a new environment where they wanted to deploy Dynamics GP 2013 R2 web client (plus the latest service pack) and upgrade their relational database management system to Microsoft SQL Server 2014. This is something I'm absolutely comfortable with (for the most part) given also that my client was sitting at Microsoft Dynamics

Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'CONTACT' error when clicking on Items List in Navigation Pane

Moving on from my previous article on a similar subject - see Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'BASEUOFM' error when clicking on Items List in Navigation Pane , I recently came across this error,  Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'CONTACT' when clicking on the All Purchasing Transactions list under the Purchasing Navigation Pane option, after performing an upgrade from Microsoft Dynamics GP 9.0 to Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 R2. All Purchasing Transactions list error - Purchasing Navigation List The name of the global temp table - in this case, tempdb.dbo.##2093338- varies in almost all cases, but the end result of the error is the same. The issue has been identified running Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 RTM, SP1 or SP2. Upon further review, the issue is due to bad data in the Vendor ID (VENDORID) column in the Purchasing Receipt History table (POP30300). In summary, if you have a purchasing receipt with a blank vendor ID or a vendor ID that doe
