Hey Friends!

We have an issue in 2024.1.10 where users cannot update a supplier in supplier entry (updating an address). After asking support to look up the correlation ID for us we see the following error:

<Exception><![CDATA[System.TypeLoadException: Method 'GetSelfBillingVendorList' in type 'Epicor.Customization.Bpm.BO.VendorSvcCustomization' from assembly 'Erp.BO.Vendor.Update, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' does not have an implementation.
   at Epicor.Customization.Bpm.BO.VendorSvcCustomizationFactory.CreateImplementationCore(ErpContext context, IFunctionsCatalog functionsCatalog, Object defaultImplementation)
   at Epicor.Customization.Bpm.SvcFacadeBase`3.GetImplementation(String methodName) in C:\_releases\ICE\ICE4.3.100.0\Source\Server\Customization\Epicor.Customization.Bpm\SvcFacadeBase.Generic.cs:line 105

   at InvokeStub_VendorSvcFacade.Update(Object, Object, IntPtr*)
   at System.Reflection.MethodBaseInvoker.InvokeDirectByRefWithFewArgs(Object obj, Span`1 copyOfArgs, BindingFlags invokeAttr)

We have the same bpms in pilot and do not observe this issue.

You tried disabling the BPMs in production just to make sure that was the cause?

Looks like it’s missing. Import from pilot, or if it is there, open it up, edit it and save to force a recompile.

Re saving the bpms resolved the issue. Woohoo. Wonder why the upgrade corrupted them.

Every upgrade/update, I always rebuild all the directives. Every. Single. Time.

Hey Jeff - as a reminder, System Admins are now able to retrieve the Server Logs (and view the Correlation ID error messages) by downloading the Server log via the Server File Download UI. For System Admins, the Log files can be found under the “Admin” folder option.

Does the cloud team run the BPM recompile as part of the upgrade process, @Rich ? As @Mark_Wonsil pointed out, I also have always ran that after upgrades on prem. Is the Cloud team running this process?

TLDR: Immediately after running the BPM recompile process ourselves after the SAAS upgrade, the issue was fixed.

We usually recompile it on-prem ourselves. If I had to guess your BPM may have been broken because Epicor did change the XAML structure and you can via server .config files revert back to the old XAML. However the Conversion Workbench should have ran an Upgrade XAML process when it upgrades all the BPMs, EFXs, BAQs…

Thats my only assumption why your BPM may have been broken. But then again the new XAML structure isn’t brand new, unless they made more changes in .patch level to it, maybe to resolve some RDD issues or something.
