Cause
The object definition's status in the instance for the following objects were inactive :
- LegalEntity
- Department
- Division
- BusinessUnit
Resolution
- Login to the instance.
- Navigate to Admin Tools - Configure Object Definitions
- Under Object Definition select LegalEntity – Take Action – make correction – Change the status to active.
- Under Object Definition select Department – Take Action – make correction – Change the status to active.
- Under Object Definition select Division – Take Action – make correction – Change the status to active.
