Always test code fixes in a controlled environment before you apply the fixes to your production computers.

To resolve this problem, follow these these steps:

  1. Overwrite the code in the insert method in the PurchParmSubTable table as follows:

    public void insert()
    {
    PurchParmSubTable tempPurchParmSubTable;
    ;

    select tempPurchParmSubTable where
    tempPurchParmSubTable.ParmId == this.ParmId
    && tempPurchParmSubTable.TableRefId == this.TableRefId
    && tempPurchParmSubTable.OrigPurchId == this.OrigPurchId;
    if(tempPurchParmSubTable.RecId == 0)
    {
    super();
    }
    }
  2. Overwrite the code in the createFromPurchParmTable method in the PurchParmSubTable table as follows:

    static PurchParmSubTable createFromPurchParmTable(PurchParmTable _purchParmTable, boolean _insert = true)
    {
    PurchParmSubTable purchParmSubTable;
    systemSequence systemSequence;
    ;

    ttsbegin;

    purchParmSubTable.clear();
    purchParmSubTable.initValue();
    purchParmSubTable.initFromPurchParmTable(_purchParmTable);

    if (_insert)
    {
    systemSequence = new systemSequence();
    purchParmSubTable.RecId = systemSequence.reserveValues(1, tablenum(PurchParmSubTable));
    purchParmSubTable.insert();
    }

    ttscommit;
    return purchParmSubTable;
    }
  3. Overwrite the code in the insert method in the SalesParmSubTable table as follows:

    public void insert()
    {
    SalesParmSubTable tempSalesParmSubTable;
    ;

    select tempSalesParmSubTable where
    tempSalesParmSubTable.ParmId == this.ParmId
    && tempSalesParmSubTable.TableRefId == this.TableRefId
    && tempSalesParmSubTable.OrigSalesId == this.OrigSalesId
    && tempSalesParmSubTable.subId == this.subId;
    if(tempSalesParmSubTable.RecId == 0)
    {
    super();
    }
    }

Note You must merge any existing customizations in these methods.
