Why can't Acumatica find a view?

Question

I created a DAC extension mapped to an extension table off of SOShipment. I have two custom fields in the extension table that I'd like to add to the Sales Orders entry form, specifically the grid in the Shipments tab. When I go to the layout editor for this form and select the Grid: ShipmentList under the Shipments tab, there are no fields in the Add Data Fields tab on the right. Also, I see a yellow circle with this error in several places:

The "ShipmentList" view is not found. Try to publish the customization project.

I published the customization project, but the error persists. To my knowledge, we haven't done any customization that would've touched the ShipmentList view. What is the issue here and how do I resolve it?

Answer 1

Since you are trying to add those Custom fields to the Grid: ShipmentList(which primary DAC is SOOrderShipment), make sure you add the Custom Fields to the Correct DAC extension, the correct DAC extension should be for SOOrderShipment.

(You have to rename the DataView because in base code, this Dataview is named shipmentList. However, the editor Tool when generating Customization Script for that screen is assigning ShipmentList(Capital S) to Datamember instead of correct Dataview name. )

So, then Go to Section Screen, Select SO301000 screen, select the Grid(ShipmentList) under the Shipments Tab, select Action->Edit ASPX, then locate on DataMember="ShipmentList" (with Capital S) and replace it for DataMember="shipmentList" (lowercase s). Then click on "Generate Customization Script" and publish your Customization.

After publishing, go to SO30100 Screen, select correct Grid and you will be able to see new Custom Fields and the warning message gone.
