Mandatory field "Invoice message" in finnish localization

Hi,

*Update if anyone else sees this in the future... I fixed this a few months back in the proper way. This field was indeed mandatory and had to have a real value in it for everything to function properly. Even if you can easily swap the Type and fill the field with a blank space using a little bit of code it just kicks the problem further down the road. You probably need to solve this properly and not trying to hack it. Good luck!*

Where do I change the settings so that this field is not mandatory or just goes away?

This is so weird. I can't find any documentation anywhere. I can't find any settings to fix it or any other way except for hacking away the mandatory field setting.

Or of course setting Message Type to Message and then Invoice Message to just / /, blank. But that is a weird way of doing things.

I saw there were old threads and I posted there but they were not moved to the top so I made a new one.

Thanks for any input. Otherwise it is just hacking away the mandatory field :D

Kind regards

@Rasmus how did you solve this? I have the same issue, causing our AP system (medius) to give an error when trying to post all invoices.

Mandatory field "Invoice message" in finnish localization

Hi,

Thanks for the reply Zhu.

As you said it isn't possible to modify the field to not be mandatory, unfortunately. At least not in an easy way.

This seem to be a standard field in BC but it exists only in the finnish localization.

Solution

By setting Message Type as "Message" and Invoice Message as just a blank by default it solves the problem at least when you create Purchase Invoices manually. The same works for POs.

It seems like this solution works also with invoices that comes from Exflow, Medius, Document Capture. Testing is ongoing :)

Hi, first of all, it is not possible to set whether the field is mandatory in BC. This is controlled in the code.

More details: https://yzhums.com/4940/

Unless the standard includes a setting for whether it is required or not.

But your field does not look like a standard field. I suggest you contact your partner.

Since it's not clear from your screenshot what page it is, take Purchase Order for example, and there are no Message Type and Invoice Message fields.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

ZHU
