Attempted to Divide by Zero Error

Posted on by 332
I am trying to post a payment to my employees via the payment journal. I am getting this error that I have never seen before. The payment are for employee T&E reimbursements. I have no idea what is causing this error.
 
 
 
 
I have the same question (2)

    Usually this is a problem caused by a customization. Do you have any customizations for the payment journal or employees?

    Hi,
     
    It seems a custom Dev.
     
    Test it in Cronus environment without extension. If you still have error, then report it to Microsoft.

    It could also be a data problem. If this is a standard environment, it is recommended to debug it.
    The reason for this error is very simple. There is division by 0 in the code.
     
     
    Hope this helps as well.
    Thanks.

    We don't have any customizations related to the payment journal. I have forwarded this issue to our Business Central partner. Just started happening after being on BC for 9 months.

    it's definitely a custom, try getting help from a developer.

    Hi GS,
     
    I have same issue here, only when "Applies-to Doc. No." is filled. 
     
    Debug goes to the following line, in my case these 2 currency code are both empty (local currency), not sure why it needs to be divided by Original Currency Factor, which is 0.

    if you have a clean sandbox, try to replicate the issue there to pinpoint to if this is a data issue or caused by extension. 
    also you need to test with other employees if they could be paid with no issue.

    It looks like an error in standard code based on the below screenshot. Please create a MS support case.

    At the end the "Original Currency Factor" is a new field in v24, which default to 1. But for old entries they're 0. According to MS you need to reverse old entries and create new ones.
