Customer Group Credit Limit has strange values after patch

Install / Update
1

When updating ERPNext from v10 to v12, there is a patch that moves the credit limit (move_credit_limit_to_customer_credit_limit). However, if no credit limit was used, this will actually apply random values between 0,1 and 1 to the customer group credit limit.

We have a case where orders are placed through the API, which is after the upgrade then always failing due to this strange initial/patch value.

Error:

frappe.exceptions.ValidationError: Please contact to the user who have Sales Master Manager  role

For anyone who has a similar issue with credit limits:

  • check credit limit on customer
  • check credit limit on customer group
  • check credit limit on company

Hope this helps someone.

The patch has a history of updates in September that relate to Customer and Company and to bypass the credit limit check…

My question is, with each migrate, whether the Patch Log decides to rerun patch updates again, or maybe a new patch is needed to fix a problem patch?

Probably the best recourse is to fix the code to set a zero value or check for null, or revise the error message and so on.

As far as I understand a patch is added to the “tabPatch Log” once it has been successfully completed. Therefore, changing the patch will only affect system that are upgraded later. We are manually correcting this issue in affected systems. Adding another patch might not be too elegant.

In general, a credit limit < 1 is probably in no case correct. We apply this as a feasibility check, but then correct to customer specific values (i.e. value from Company credit_limit).

In most cases, this will not be observed as the sales order is entered by a Sales Manager role, which overrides this behaviour…
