PSA - Substitute resource errors

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I am trying to substitute one resource for another in PSA.  There are 2 ways to do this (that I can see) and neither of them seem to be working for me.  Please see the error message for one of them below and the other way, where I don't receive an error message, but nothing happens in the sense that the two resources are not swapped on the booking.   Has anyone else experienced these issues?  If so, what am I missing here?  Thanks!

Setup: 

Dynamics 365, (v9.0.1.569) 

Trial Version 

Process 1 (select name from drop down and click Reassign): 

Here is a screen shot of what I did on this one:

When doing it this way, the booking on the original resource (Jes Stewart) shows as partially booked as follows:

However, if I refresh the schedule board, the booking goes back to the original resource.  

Process 2 (click on 'Find Substitution'):

In this process, I first click on the 'Find Substitution' button from the pop up menu.

This searches for available resources that meet the requirements of the booking.  I select one of them as the one I want to substitute, which opens the Create Resource Booking window.  From there I click on Book.

In this scenario I receive the following error message (Object reference not set to an instance of an object).
