We tried veifiying the .btr and .idx and .dat files as mentioned on the article but eventually we had to re- install the Program to make it work,

Another issue we had was that that Class ID did not update and failed on the integration after we updated from GreatPlains 6.0 to 7.5. Well below is a summary of what happened and how it was resolved

Basically we did not have this problem till we updated the GreatPlains 6.0 to 7.5 and Integration Manager to 7.0

Before the GreatPlains updates, our Vendor Integration would run smoothly,

but after our updates they fail due to the Class ID section.

Essentially, We have a Class ID called "GRANT" created and when we bring in new vendor information we would like them to have that Class ID assigned.

Ofcourse in the Destination Mapping area, we have "use constant" enabled and we typed in the constant "GRANT" for the Class ID section...

however when we run the Vendor Integration, the error message we receive is a prompt asking us, if "if we want to update the Vendor with information from Class ID "GRANT", Yes or No.

Apparently this "Yes or No" prompt for overwriting Class ID Information is a new feature in the new GreatPlains, and it interferes with our Vendor Intergration process. Is there a way to shut this feature off, or is there any other way to make this automation work?

Please help

Clement,

You are on Great Plains 7.5 correct? Did you update your Integration Manager to 7.5 as well. In your email you wrote it seems like you are saying you are on Integration Manager 7.0 still?

If you are on integration manager 7.0 still, it will not work with Great Plains 7.5 You actually need to install Integration Manager 7.5 in order to work with Great Plains 7.5. The 7.5 install of IM is on the Great Plains CD1 in the AdProd\IM subfolder.

Once you are on Integration Manager 7.5 see if the error still occurs. If you still get the error, we could try wring some VBA code to programmatic answer the question that keeps popping up. If upgrading to Integration Manager 7.5 does not work, then send me back an email and let you know if you are registered for Modifier. (Help - About Great Plains - Options). If you are registered for Modifier, we can create a VBA file that will click on the yes button whenever this error comes up.

Actually, I am sorry, I was not clear, we do indeed have Integration Manager 7.5. Also we are still getting the same error! Unfortunately we are not registerd with Modifier to answer your question. Hope you can help us

thanks

Hello Clement,

You will need to readd the Vendor Destination to your integration. Make sure you are selecting the version 7.50 destination adapter. This will not change your mappings. However, double check the Destination Edit Mode to make sure that it is correct. Now your integration should run properly.

Thanks,

Beth
