Using a BAQ in Report Data Definition

Epicor ERP 10

I used a BAQ in an RDD but when running the report I get the following error message:

Program Ice.Services.Lib.RunTask raised an unexpected exception with the following message: RunTask: Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: key
Stack Trace:

Any clue as to what I would be missing?

Thanks for any suggestions !

Did you ever get this figured out? I just ran into this issue.

Yes, it is a bit misleading on Epicor’s part. We found out that you cannot use a BAQ in a Report Data Definition. All the parts seem to be there, but it doesn’t work.

Well, that explains a lot. Thanks!

You can use a BAQ in a report data definition. But only if the report data definition is comprised solely of BAQ’s

Matt from Epicor told our consultant that BAQ’s didn’t work in an RDD.

We had tried … can you provide an example? I would still be interested in going that route.

Thanks

The RDD I created only has BAQ’s in it but I am still running into the error that Carol first posted.
