Filter error

Posted on by

I'm running NAV 2013 R2 and two of my users are getting this error message which will not allow them to drilldown.

The filter "|Payment" is not valid for the Document Type field on the G/L Entry table. The left side of an"|" operator cannot be empty.

How can I correct this.

Thanks

    Error is from Chart of Accounts

    Also, forgot to mention that a filter was entered and this is how the error came about. The filter has been removed but for some reason we still can't get past this error.

    Thank you

    RE: Filter error

    Unfortunately, I do not have a NAV 2013 R2 environment handy and I'm not able to recreate the error in NAV 2017.

    The only thing I can think of is that someone may have set a hard filter on the General Ledger Entries page (Object ID: Page 20, from the NAV Development environment). If you, or someone from your team have access to the Development Environment, Design that page, and look at the Page Properties to see if the SourceTableView property has any TableFilters set. By default, the SourceTableView property should have a value like:

    SORTING(G/L Account No.,Posting Date) ORDER(Descending)

     

    If it has something like what you see in the bold part below, then you know there is a filter that was set by your partner or developer that needs to be corrected, and this is causing the issue:

    SORTING(G/L Account No.,Posting Date) ORDER(Descending) WHERE(Document Type=FILTER(' '|Payment))

     

    It is also possible that the filter may be set in C/AL code, which you may or may not be able to see depending on whether you have access to a NAV development license.

    If you are comfortable with the NAV debugger, you could also go that route, and it should help pinpoint where the issue is arising from.

    As a last resort, I advise you to take a look at the list of released cumulative updates for NAV 2013 R2, or open a support case with Microsoft.

    On this page, you can scroll all the way to the bottom to look at overview of released platform and application hotfixes (two separate links, one for platform, one for application).

    Depending on whether you are a Microsoft Partner or an End-Customer, you'd click on the links under PartnerSource or CustomerSource respectively.

    I hope this helps. If my response has answered your question, please take a moment to verify by clicking Yes next to "Did this answer your question?"

    Yes, as soon as the drilldown page / views open. No filter is being set at all.

    RE: Filter error

    To be clear, does this error message occur automatically as soon as the drilldown page / view opens, or when the user tries to set a filter while in the drilldown page?

    No, this is what happens. From Chart of Accounts, they right-click and select DrillDown on either Net Change or Balance. From here is where they get the following error. Also all filters are cleared.

    The filter "|Payment" is not valid for the Document Type field on the G/L Entry table. The left side of an '|' operator cannot be empty.

    Thanks

    Are you trying to filter the Document Type field on Payment and blank values? If so, try:

    ''|Payment

    That's two single quotes without any space between them, followed by |, followed by the word Payment.

    Alternately, you can expand the Filter Pane, and simply select the two values:
