Troubleshooting

The value '6.22' for [field] could not be set

You may encounter this error when attempting to set a number containing a decimal point on a specific field. This error occurs if the regional setting on the computer on which the Node is executing (i.e. the computer hosting the DropPoint) does not use a point as a decimal symbol. For example, if your locale is set to South Africa, a comma will be used instead.

To resolve this, change the decimal symbol to a point. To access this setting, open Control Panel, then Region, then Additional Settings and change the decimal symbol under the Numbers tab.

This will change the setting for the current user profile only. Typically DropPoints run under the LOCAL SYSTEM account so it is then necessary to copy the changed settings to the LOCAL SYSTEM account.

To do this, go back to the Region Dialog, click the Administrative tab and click Copy Settings. Tick the checkboxes Welcome screen and system accounts as well as New user accounts and click Ok.

Restart the computer for changes to take effect.

Values are rounded to only 2 decimal places

Some items need higher decimal places on the unit price. The default is set to 2 decimal places. To increase the number of decimal places, navigate to Maintenance -> Inventory -> Inventory Defaults and set the required number of decimal places.

Database connection failure or invalid Evolution SDK license. Pastel Evolution registration is invalid: Server Table Error. Version: 0

First check that the SDK Connector is listed in the licensed modules under Help>About in Sage.

The SQL user needs to have db_owner permission on the SageCommon database, and at least db_datareader & db_datawriter on the company database.

A read-only user can be set up for a SQL connection, and only need db_datareader on the company database.
