When attempting to change the status of a work task from Work Started to Work Done, we receive the error message below - divisor is equal to zero.

In reviewing the work task, the work order, the PM Action, the measurements for object, no issue can be found. 

Any insight/thoughts would be helpful!

Hi 
 

This error ("divisor is equal to zero" — which is the Oracle error ORA-01476) is a very common one in IFS Cloud, especially in MWO / Work Tasks when changing status from Work Started to Work Done (or Completed).

It means that somewhere in the background logic (standard IFS code or a customization), the system is trying to divide a number by zero during the status transition.

Thank you - that makes sense but trying to identify where the system is trying to divide by zero. I have found through further testing that there are times when marking the task as done is successful and times when it isn’t on different work tasks but I cannot seem to pinpoint where that zero may be.
