I am having trouble posting Receipt of Goods   See document
This document can help you resolve some of the most common causes of interruptions during the posting of Receipt of Goods transactions.
To benefit most from this document, perform the steps in order, and keep track of what you did, and of any error message you encountered. eWholesale Support can use this information to better assist you if you need to call.

  1. Take note of any error messages and the transaction reference at which the program stops.

  2. The Receipt of Goods Update program may display a message indicating the cause of the interruption. At the same time, the program will display the last transaction being processed before the interruption occurred.

  3. Change the Purchase Orders / R.O.G Control Maintenance Flags.

  4. Open the Purchase Order / R.O.G Utilities menu, and drill down to the Control Maintenance option. Open the Control Maintenance option, and click on the Modify button to change any flags that appear as Yes. Save the changes.

  5. Review the last transaction being processed before the posting was interrupted.

  6. Open the Receipt of Goods Entry program and type the reference number of the last transaction displayed on screen before the posting process was interrupted.
    • Check that the receiving and invoice dates are valid dates.
    • Click inside the Ship Via field, and zoom to check the details of the transportation company selected. The General Ledger account numbers assigned to the transportation company may have changed in the Chart of Accounts, and never revised in the Ship Via Maintenance.
    • Click inside the Supplier Id field, and zoom to the supplier's details. Check the province/state code assigned to the supplier, and zoom to that province's details. Again, the General Ledger accounts assigned to that province may have changed in the Chart of Accounts, and never revised in the Province Maintenance records.
    • Click on the Details Tab and check the transaction's details. Check the products listed in the transaction. Take note of the units of measure assigned to the product. Is that unit of measure recorded in the Product File Maintenance's Basic Units, Cost Units, or in the Alternate Units of Measure section? If it is not, this is the cause of the interruption. Continue to check the product's G/L Settings in the Product File Maintenance. Make sure that all the General Ledger accounts assigned to the product are valid. The accounts may have changed in the Chart of Accounts, and never revised in the Product File, or Group Maintenance records.
 

I get fatal error message #116 and cannot login into eWholesale   See document
This document can help you resolve some of the most common causes of interruptions due to the fatal error #116.
The error is triggered by the Database engine - Pervasive. According to Pervasive's Support, the cause of this error is an incorrect network configuration, or your Pervasive gateway is not set consistently throughout the network.

IMPORTANT!
The solution for this issue is highly technical, and should be looked after by certified networking specialists.

Some of the strategies implemented to solve a status 116 are listed here:

  1. If WGE is installed on multi-homed server, verify that TCPIP is communicating properly or remove extraneous NIC card
  2. If WGE is installed on a Terminal Server, remove and install Pervasive.SQL 2000i for NT Server
  3. Verify that TCPIP is communicating from and to all machines involved using SmartScout
  4. Verify that all WGE's are set with Local=ON and Requester=ON if using floating gateways
  5. If running Wingate, verify with SmartScout that the IP address is the same as the one in your server and verify that Multihomed is turned on
  6. Verify that the Network drivers have been updated (IE: Win95)
  7. If DOS application, then verify that there is NOT a DOS substitute command
  8. Verify that the Gateway is set
  9. Verify that SmartScout runs and passes from every machine involved to each other
  10. Verify that there are no mixed components
  11. Verify that "Accept Remote Requests" is on
  12. Verify that remapped drives are not being used
  13. Cleanup and reinstall
