BM Production register Error "The register must be printed prior to posting"

Question

Hi, 
 I've been wondering if someone else encountered or might have a solution for this. 
 Im getting the error "The register must be printed prior to posting" 
 
 oSS2.nSetProgram(oSS2.nLookupTask("BM_ProductionRegister_UI"))
 objTransactionRegister = oScript2.NewObject("BM_ProductionRegister_UPD", oSS2)
 oSS2.nTerminateUI()
 If blnUseBatch = True Then
 retVal = objTransactionRegister.nSelectBatch(strBatchNo)
 End If


 retVal = objTransactionRegister.nUpdateInit()
 retVal = objTransactionRegister.nUpdateMain()
 retVal = objTransactionRegister.nUpdate()
 retVal = objTransactionRegister.nUpdateCleanup()

 'drop the Transaction Register
 objTransactionRegister.DropObject()
 'drop the session
 oSS2.DropObject() 
 is there anyway to skip/proces the printing step for production registration? 
 
 is there a document where I could check the functions associated with "BM_ProductionRegister_UPD"? 
 
 Thanks!

It seems you are on the right track but you also should have nSetPostingDate prior to nProcessReport. 
 You can always refer to https://help-sage100.na.sage.com/2020/FLOR/index.htm as you have found to view documentation on the files and objects. Familiarize yourself without how to search and navigate it so you can find things a little easier. 
 For example, https://help-sage100.na.sage.com/2020/FLOR/#Object_Reference/BM/BM_ProductionRegister_upd.html , if you look at the top, you'll see where it lists objects it inherits, one of these is SY_BatchUpdate ( https://help-sage100.na.sage.com/2020/FLOR/Content/Object_Reference/SY/SY_BatchUpdate.html ), which inherits SY_Update ( https://help-sage100.na.sage.com/2020/FLOR/Content/Object_Reference/SY/SY_Update.html ), which inherits SY_ReportCommon ( https://help-sage100.na.sage.com/2020/FLOR/Content/Object_Reference/SY/SY_ReportCommon.html ). 
 You can also search this forum for examples of updating registers as well as exporting them to a PDF or sending them to paperless office instead of sending them to deferred printing.

I've added nProcessReport method above the UpdateInit(), as the nProcessReport seems to be the one that's responsible on processing the report(printing) in order for the update() to actually work. 
 refer to this page: https://help-sage100.na.sage.com/2018/FLOR/index.htm#Object_Reference/SY/SY_ReportCommon.html?Highlight=ProcessReport
