    Hi Philinh,

    Would you please be so kind and verify the answer of Naveen as verified if you have been able to fix your problem and if there is nothing else open.

    It is important that you are doing that so that also other AX users who run into similar problems can easily and quickly identify what others did to get things resolved.

    Many thanks for your help.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hi Naveen Kumar Somanagoudar,

    I selected record info >show all field >  Reference field is blank.

    I want to update Reference field. I Right click Reference > View detail but the message appear "Unable to View details, no form exists for table 'SharedCategory'."

    What should I do next ?

    Hello,

    right click on the area page in cost accounts area, select record info, select show all fields, there you will find the reference field, it might refer to shared category
