Error Message

Error text:

Error generating product layout.

Evaluation Error: Only similar data types can be compared.

Explanation of Error

The Product Layout is re-calculated when an order or estimate is edited. In this case, there are variables being used in the products that can not be evaluated because the data types don't match the argument in the CFL code.

For example:

The Banner_EdgeTreatmentYes variable is checked in CFL to see if it is equal to zero. If the variable is a List data type then this error will be presented. It must be a number data type in this case.

Severity

Normal. User is most likely not down.

Possible Root Cause(s)

The data type of a variable used in the Product Layout has the incorrect data type selected.

Resolution

  1. Determine the product being used on the order or estimate that is causing the error.
  2. Determine the Product Layout being used for that product.
  3. Edit the CFL in the Product Layout and remove a few lines at a time until you are no longer able to re-create the error.
  4. Once you determine the CFL that is causing the error, review the data types for those variables to ensure they are correct.
