Data entity error from salesTable - Two custtable links (invoice and order)

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by g.verbruggen 23

Hi All,

I'm struggling with a data entity and it's not clear to me what it is I'm doing wrong. I can always use a postload method to get the values. Or use a second data entity and join them in my BI tools, but I would like to know why this is not allowed or what it is I'm doing wrong.

I go from inventTrans to inventTransOrigin, then salesLine and salesTable. Next I want to have to joins to custTable. One for the invoice account and one for the order account: next, for each custTable, i also join the DirPartyTable to get the name:

The errors I get:

Once I delete one of the two DirParty Table links, the error is gone.

Please advice.

Thanks !

    Hi Gerard,

    I have not included the same table more than once in a data entity. To overcome the issue, you can use a computed field which is faster compared to the postLoad method. See also the documentation about differences between the computed and virtual fields. Computed columns and virtual fields in data entities - Finance & Operations | Dynamics 365 | Microsoft Docs

    Thanks André,

    I will go for the computed field.

    Cheers,

    Gerard
