Hi @JesperSchulz

It would be great if you could provide a call stack for me to further investigate.

As far as I know, I was able to generate demo data normally in my BC environment. I checked and even got some sales invoice lines posted with deferral codes in the database. My platform build is US Business Central 28.0 (Platform 28.0.40012.0 + Application 28.0.40329.0).

And the Deferral Template records are created successfully.

Here is the link to the code that creates and populates the Deferral Template with a deferral account:
https://github.com/microsoft/ALAppExtensions/blob/main/Apps/W1/ContosoCoffeeDemoDataset/app/DemoData/Finance/1.Setup%20data/CreateDeferralTemplate.Codeunit.al

The build output was a little strange. Let me try to rerun. If it fails again, I'll try to dig for more details.

@JesperSchulz Do you have any update on this?

Unfortunately it failed again. However, it fails on the "BuildDatabase" task, which is a little unusual. And it only seems to be failing in local versions! The W1 database builds, but all local versions fail:

I'm afraid I don't have time to investigate further. We will need someone from the SCM team to look into this, if needed. @PredragMaricic, FYI.

@JesperSchulz Thanks, I think this error message is much clearer now. I'll further investigate from my end.

@KennieNP
After reviewing the build errors, adding deferral codes to posted and unposted sales documents are causing more problems than it's worth since deferral income accounts aren’t the same across regions. Is it okay if I remove this requirement?

[KennieNP]

Ok to remove from this PR. I wonder if we can somehow isolate the deferral income accounts so that the demo data code is just referring to this? Then localizations only need to implement the deferral income accounts interface.

Thanks for confirming, that's good point. I think sales deferral can be in its own work item.

[tuan-nguyen-fenwick]

@PredragMaricic can you help me rerun the build database please?

@JesperSchulz I've updated, tested and confirmed the fixes in ES and IT builds.
