Change global dimension convert problem

Posted on by Mario Maas 22

Hello,

I am trying to set-up 2e global dimensions for a new company. Via General Ledger Setup i tried to change the 1st global dimension. It appears to work but almost at the end of the proces (94%) an error occurs. ("Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Runtime.NavBigInteger to System.String.

Do you have any idea what this can mean ?  Thanks Mario

    Mario,

    I have never seen this error before when changing a Global Dimension. I highly suggest you contact your Partner to submit a Microsoft Support ticket so they can investigate and resolve for you.

    Thanks,

    Steve

    Hi, this error message is very strange, this is a standard feature, if you have customized it, you should contact your Partner to check it together.

    If you want to rule out the Application Server problem, you can copy a database, reinstall NAV, connect the copied database, and try it in a this environment again.

    Hope this will help.

    Thanks.
