[Solved] The container will need to be recreated with the new table metadata in order to be unpacked correctly.

I got below error in development instance. 

Error message: 
A container for table (SalesTable) was packed with more fields than are currently defined on the table and cannot be safely unpacked. The container will need to be recreated with the new table metadata in order to be unpacked correctly.



Possible solutions:

Option 1: Reset uses data.
Navigate to user option and reset the usages data, I would prefer if its Dev instance you do reset for all users or just for current user. 

Option 2: Try t build your custom models and DB synch.

How to Install 'Globalization Solution for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance' for ER reporting

Hi Folks, 

I recently been working on ER reporting was referring Microsoft documentations for Electronic reporting (ER) overview , the detaisl inthsi document have some conditions (as of today July 11, 2024) which is not clearly mentioend in this document that the repository mentieodn are only applicate till version 10.0.38, from this version onwards thigs changed (Yes changed again!!!)

In this post I will explain how to setup ER reporting for your environment. 

Thigs to note before start:

1. Admin access to Admin center of power platform
2. Admin access to D365FO
3. LCS and Operations resources are not supported any more, Regulatory Configuration Service (RCS) will be deprecated as well
4. New Solution will be deployed on Dataverse
5. This works only with Tier 2 instances 

Worth the know: 

1. If you check your ER reporting work space (with version 10.0.30 and above) you will only get two options in 'Configuration repository' which are
i. Dataverse
ii.  Operation resource

and if you try to setup data verse and open it, you may get below error,  Error when opening Data version in ER repository,

Request to Dataverse failed. Check that solution is installed and application user has access to Dataverse tables. Error code: d02c0bcd Timestamp: 2024-07-04 13:20:10 Correlation Id: <####> Exception thrown: System.ServiceModel.FaultException`1[Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.OrganizationServiceFault]: RetrievePrivilegeForUser: The user with id <####> has not been assigned any roles. They need a role with the prvReadmsdyn_ElectronicReportingConfigurationsIndexFile privilege. (Fault Detail is equal to Exception details: ErrorCode: 0x80042F09 Message: RetrievePrivilegeForUser: The user with id <###> has not been assigned any roles. They need a role with the prvReadmsdyn_ElectronicReportingConfigurationsIndexFile privilege. TimeStamp: 2024-07-04T13:20:10.5918579Z -- Exception details: ErrorCode: 0x80042F09 Message: RetrievePrivilegeForUser: The user with id <###> has not been assigned any roles. They need a role with the prvReadmsdyn_ElectronicReportingConfigurationsIndexFile privilege. TimeStamp: 2024-07-04T13:20:10.5918579Z -- ).

2. If you have already setup some other repositores in past version and than updated your environment, you still be able to see and access these repository. But you wont be able to create new repository on same type. 

Now coming to solution: 

1. Navigate to Microsoft app source and search for  Globalization Solution for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance or click here


Microsoft app store





2. Click on 'Get it now', it will nevugatre you to https://admin.powerplatform.microsoft.com/ portal where you need to select further details. In select environment option you can only selelct a sanbox or productoin ( no tier 1 option by default)

(Note: To install an app, you must have a successfully provisioned environment in the region where the application is available and the environment must have a database connection)


Dataverse install solution




























3. After the installation you will be able to see this under solution tab, check if there are update on this solution , 

Dataverse update solution

I would recommend to udpate this to latest version,

Once these steps finished successfully , go back to your environment and select data verse and click on Open.

You should be able to see all reporting configuration and choose what you need and import to use.
