Solution or Workaround

This issue has been documented under PTR 79970 and PTR 80334 and has been addressed in Sage Pro 7.4 It occurs when the Bill of Lading module has not been installed. There are two solutions listed below that may help resolve this issue.

Important
The following should only be done by a Sage Certified Consultant or Business Partner. Create a full and verified backup before proceeding. This should first be attempted in a test installation and the results should be fully verified before implementing in a live system.

 

Solution One
When the Bill of Lading module is not installed, the following fields are not present in the ICITEM table: Blclass, Cubeamt, and Casepack which causes errors. To resolve this issue, open the syimpt.vcx file and comment out these fields in the m_builddefastr method. This should allow the import to proceed.

Solution Two
Open a Sage Pro installation that has Bill of Lading installed. From that installation, export the data dictionary for the ICITEM table and import it into the company that is receiving the error.
