Posted on by DipakPatel2505 34

Hello Everyone,

I am getting error when try to insert Item using simple code. Error is prompted at Item.INSERT statement.

Customer is using Business Central 14 cu 21 and using Azure SQL Server.

I have checked SQL and there is no addition store procedure written on Item Insert.

Any help/suggestion is appreciated to resolve the issue.

    The record in table Item already exists.
    I see that the post is old, but I've been having this same error for a long time and I want to post an answer in case it can help someone in the future.
     
    I have been reading a lot about Dynamics BC, and I have seen that, for example, the Item Table works with a table that fills in internal IDs for each Item, if that table is not filled in, the Items are not displayed in BC, BC can´t find them, and we get the error that the Item already exists if you try to Insert the Item, this may be because a record has been inserted in the Item table only with SQL, but not in the table containing the IDs
     
    In my case, the table that I need to fill in for the Items to be displayed correctly is [dbo].[Item$c526b3e9-b8ca-4683-81ba-fcd5f] , once I have inserted the records through SQL with a query, the problem has been solved, the products appear in BC instantly and the error that the Item already exists in BC no longer appears
     
    I hope this can help and that no one has to waste a lot of time looking for a solution to this problem.

    RE: The record in table Item already exists.

    Have you checked that your Item2 variable is not defined as temporary variable?

    If that is the case you will get this behavior.

    Hi, I tested your code in BC v20 with no problems.

    pastedimage1655426055117v1.png

    it's a little weird. I think you can try the following two things. (Only for test)

    1. Try adding a Commit.

    pastedimage1655426136809v2.png

    2. Execute the code in OnDelete trigger. Maybe there are other customizations.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks.

    Insert is not executed multiple times.

    Also, I have cleared, init, reset variable in actual code but I am still getting the error.

    I have verified that Item does not exist before insert statement but still getting error.

    Below code is written in CodeUnit and testing scenario.

    RE: The record in table Item already exists.

    Usually you need to follow the next pattern:

    reset table, this clean any previous filter item.reset;

    set range the table with the new item number item.setrange("No.",value);

    if you not find the record, then item.no := value, if not item.findset then  item."no." := value;

    table. insert(true)   item.insert(true);

    you can add an else statement using else but isnt necessary and you dont need to INIT the table

    RE: The record in table Item already exists.

    If the record doesn't exist before you run the code, check if you actually run the insert code twice.

    Try to run debug to see why it is causing that.

    Testing Code is written on Codeunit - OnRun trigger and running codeunit directly.

    Can you please tell me in which trigger you have written this code?

    Thanks.
