File Overwrite is not allowed in ESS AX 2012 portal

Posted on by 515

Hi All,

Greetings.

i am having a "redundant & common issue" everytime

At one of my clients, we make a use of Enterprise Portal where user claims their expense via EP, users make attachments of different file types with expense reports as a part of their normal process.

However, when attaching a file type (in my case) “PDF” I was receiving an error “File overwrite is not allowed”.  Some of my experienced developers suggested the below workaround to get rid of error message

  1. Go to Organization administration > Common > Number sequence.
  2. Select “Document Management” in the area path on the number sequence list page.
  3. Clear “Status list” > check Free--> then delete the free list CLT+A and hit F9 to delete the list.( I dont find any "Free in Status list but " Active in Status list and when i delete  any old Active one the error goes and the user is able to attach)

May I know how to get permanent solution to this common RECURRING issue.

What is meaning of Free& Active Status List.Is it advisable to delete the Active record in Status lIst??

Regards

    I don't understand how clearing a number sequence status list would have any impact on your problem. Does it really help you? Which number sequence is it? If it indeed is resolved by clearing the status list, I suggest you set that number sequence as non-continuous. That should solve the issue for good.
