A pesky FlowFilter that won't go away

josephdewey

I have a user who seems to have a FlowFilter that's stuck, and we can't remove it.

It's on the Sales Header field (Sales Order), and it is Date Filter: ''..07/30/12

The user doesn't remember entering this filter, so I think maybe it was automatically set, or maybe set on another form.

I've tried everything that I could think of.
*Clicking Show All
*Deleting the FlowFilter line
*Changing the FlowFilter line to something else.

But the filter always comes back, to be ''..07/30/12

I know that if we delete the ZUP file, then it will fix this, but the user really wants to keep his settings. Thanks in advance for any help.

This has been standard in Navision since version 2.50 its a part of planning and reservations.

Hmm. I didn't think to check another session to see if everyone else had this "problem" too. Thanks.

Thanks for the historical info, too!

Glad to help. I remember when I first got a customer that had this issue ... way back then. Took ages to figure out what they had changed. I put in a request to Navision to make the FILTER box at the bottom of the screen only relate to Field filters and not flow filters (which they duly ignored) as it makes the FILTER indicator pretty useless.

Open the sales order form and in the onopenform trigger you will see this:

SETRANGE("Date Filter",0D,WORKDATE - 1);

This was posted on the Microsoft Partner Network Forum the beginning of July so I would I would add it for supporting details. Here is the link for those of you who are signed up, but I'll summarize at the bottom.

Response from MS:

After some additional research, an old CR was discovered regarding this exact topic where we asked about the auto date FlowFilter on the Sales Order Header. The Development team came back to us and stated that the FlowFilter is populated for the Late Order Shipping setting, which is a Boolean field (Field Number 5795) in the Sales Header Table. I hope this information is helpful.

Hi,
Did we ever found a solution for this?
Today, we faced the same issue. Sales Order screen showing FILTER at the bottom. We've compiled the screen, table, commented the onopen screen code, Clicked on showall button. Nothing works.

How to get away from this issue/bug? Please advcie
