Something simlilar like this message:

Cause

The function RECALCFIELDS requires the Anveo Automation to be registered.

Note: In Dynamics NAV 2009 Classic Client business code in run directly in Classic Client and not on a central server. If you run RECALCFIELDS on a client machine and not on the server, the automation must be installed on the client as well.

Solution

Register the automation like described in installation documentation.

Hint: If you need the function on each client, mark records to be recalculated instead of do an instant recalculation. Use a NAS to do recalculations on a server every x minutes.
