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:

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.
