Business Partner on Sales document output – Error Prevention

Problem: I tried to enable the Business partner function data on the sales order outputs as explained in the blog post below

However, after performing the configuration, when I download the form template and open it in the LiveCycle designer, I get an error as per the screenshot below:

Reason for error:

This error is due to an erratic configuration. Below is the screenshot from the configuration step:

As observed in the configuration, there is a space in the text provided in the “Print Label” column. This is not allowed by the system. The text in the print label is not the actual label that will be printed on the form but it’s part of the name of the node that will be created in the data view of the form. A space is not allowed in the node name and as a result the system results in an error.

Resolution

Remove the space and save the configuration again. Once done, work on the template in the livecycle designer and the error should not occur anymore.

Conclusion:

Please take note of this small but important aspect of this configuration, to ensure there is no error while working on the output forms for this requirement.
