Additional Information
- In another case, the customer had a User Defined Field called Item Type also and it was a Required Field. The message “The Item Type is Required” was referring to the User Defined Field, not the standard Sage Field. Workaround is to deselect the Required Field checkbox in UDF Maintenance or add the Required Field to Miscellaneous Item Maintenance. Both Inventory Items and Miscellaneous items are stored in CI_Item.m4t.
- Another scenario had an empty record in SO_SalesOrderDetail and the only value was a LineSeqNo. Delete the empty orphan record. Then, noticed the sales order in question had two lines for the same item and one was missing the LineSeqNo – deleted that in DFDM. No further errors occurred when accessing the sales order in Sales Order Entry.
