I am facing this error when trying to submit expense claim;
Traceback (most recent call last):

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘erpnext.accounts.notification.expense_claim_request.expense_claim_request’
@clarkej It beats me why this error is now showing up. Just two weeks ago, expense claim requests worked without any issues so my guess is something was changed in last update because i pushed the latest update just yesterday.
@szufisher I did create a notification for expense claim earlier but i have since deleted it. The issue however persists. I don’t know how creating an email alert could have broken the module and i don’t know how to fix it.
Still hoping for someone to point me to a solution to this problem.
I have retraced my steps and found that creating a custom alert for Expense Claim broke the system. I followed the standard process for creating alerts and i have other alerts running for different processes and nothing like this ever happened. Even though i have since deleted the custom alert created, the issue still persists. I cannot submit Expense Claims as it throws a notification error and would not submit. Any guide on how to fix this will be appreciated.
That’s the thing, i have checked the directories listed in the traceback and there are no files or directories relating to expense_claim_request either in Accounts or HR as shown in the error. That’s why i am confused. I set up a temporary instance and checked the directory and there’s no file like that. However, Expense Claim requests on the fresh instance submitted successfully.
Yes that is odd to me - that Expense Claim Request is not specified on the file system!? I have not seen or am not aware of that form of DocType; one that is defined and limited to the database. Someone better informed may need to chime in here.
I am sincerely hoping someone can point me in the direction of resolution. I have tried to replicate the issue on another instance to try to identify what’s broken without success. There’s no module expense_claim_request either in a fresh instance or instances with data. I also set up custom email alert for the test instance set up and it didn’t “break” the expense claim “module”. I am in a fix as I don’t know what else to do.
Well the answer lies in your database, to dig into that, and also to run your instances in a debugger, you would surely learn and resolve what is going on.
try to delete /home/octo5/frappe-bench/apps/frappe/frappe/email/doctype/notification/notification.pyc, then bench restart, open your browser and create your expense clain again, then check whether the delelted .pyc file regenerated.
if problem can not be resolved, please kindly contact me via skype.
