Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string

Posted on by Johnny 6,480

Hello,

When I try to post timesheet in one of the entities I'm getting following error: "SQL error description: [Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 11.0][SQL Server]Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string"

All other entities are ok. 

What do you suggest to check? Maybe date format is different for this entity? Where should I check it?

    Hi,

    Is that field has type Datetime or UTC datetime?

    Hi,

    The problem comes from AccountingEventSourceDocumentProcessor.createAccountingEvents() methods select statement.

    The problem is that it can't find accountingDistribution.AccountingDate field is empty and is passed to AccountingEventSourceDocumentProcessor::createAccountingEvent method.

    This is the case only for one entity.

    Can you advice any way what to check / change?

    The "_sourceDocumentHeaderId" value can't be found to AccountDistribution table.

    I don't know where to check what

    If there no customization, can you sync the table and do the Full CIL.

    Hi,

    If this is the case of sync and CIL, shouldn't this problem be for all entities in AX? The problem is only for 1 entity. Maybe there is some per company setup to apply, but I don't know which

    I faced a similar issue. I tried deleting the table's field from SSMS and then synchronized the table from AOT.

    The problem occurred after I restored the AX model store from another system. Try that. I hope it works.

    Thanks, I will try.

    Did you also have problem only for 1 entity and other entities worked ok?

    Hi Pir Mohammad,

    the field is AccountingDate in AccountingDistribution table

    For the table that is causing trouble, check the fieldId in AOT and compare them to what is stored in SQLDictionary. If you see any differences, update the SQLDictionary table to match what's in AOT.
