Acumatica - error when customizing "Marketing Campaign" screen

I am having the following error when adding any custom field or overriding any attribute on existing fields on Marketing Campaign screen:

\App_RuntimeCode\PX_Objects_CR_CRCampaign_extensions.cs(1): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'AP' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Any idea on where to track this error?

This likely occurred because of using static directive or nested namespace.

For example, having AP.xyz nested in PX.Objects.AP produces no compiler error: enter image description here

When AP.xyz is nested in another namespace it's not found: enter image description here

The issue with using static directive is a bit different but results in the same error. This can occur because runtime code uses IIS for compilation and IIS compiler is not the latest dot net compiler. So using static directive can work when you compile a dynamic library extension in visual studio but can fail when it's compiled by IIS as part of a runtime customization.

The easy fix is to edit the files to either:

  1. Fully qualify the identifiers by changing AP.xyz to PX.Objects.AP.xyz

  2. Sometimes all that is required is to remove AP. and add using PX.Objects.AP at the top of the file if it's not there. When there's a conflict between 2 types with the same name in different namespace you must use method #1.
