We recently did an upgrade from GP 2013 to GP 2016. Everything seems to have went fine except when we go to enter a Receiving Transaction through the Receivings transaction window, we get an error. I can open the window easily, but when I click on Receipt No., I get an error message that says:
“Unhandled script exception: Illegal address for field ‘Invoice Receipt Date’ in script ‘Display Receipt’. Script Terminated.”
This issue seems to be consistent across all companies. It occurred in one of their lives companies and when I checked their test company, it also exists there. It also is not confined to one user. Another user discovered the issue and then I tested using ‘sa’.Ā
If this was caused by security not pointing to a particular alternate window created by a third party developer.
Please tell them that for Best Practice they should be checking the security access and confirming that their window is in use before any of their triggers reference fields they have added.
I have written blog articles and KB articles (while I was at Microsoft) on how to best implement this check.
If they wish they could also pop up a dialog notifying you that security has not been set to the alternate window, but this would need to have an option to be disabled as there might be a reason that you need access to the original window or a different alternate window.
