Cause

 Issue 1: Using Acumatica Add-In for Outlook on any Outlook app or web version

  • All versions of Edge (Chromium)
  • Google Chrome Version 80 and later

The issue could happen on all supporting versions of Acumatica ERP. The issue affects all end-user applications, both desktop and web versions.
