Know Issues and Limitations
Customer
- Invoice currency in Connected Business does not match the order currency created from foreign marketplace in Solid Commerce since the currency is not included in the order XML from Solid Commerce.
- Issue on applying coupon occurs in the following scenario:
- Create a coupon for products, all customers, specify an item.
- Create an invoice then enter any item in the first line number (do not use the item in Step 1).
- Add the item in Step 1 in the second line number.
- Apply the coupon created. A validation message will appear “Coupon not applied because items does not meet the coupon's requirements. Please check the coupon setup for more details." popup even if the coupon's requirement is met.”
Workaround: Add first the items included in the coupon.
- Reserved quantity becomes negative in the following scenario.
- Go to Supplier > Purchases > New Purchases and select any supplier.
- In the PO form, insert the created stock item, Ordered is 10 then save.
- Go to Customer > Order > New Order and select any customer, the Sales Order form will load.
- Insert the stock item and verify the Quantity = 10. Allocate = 0, and Reserved = 10, but don’t save.
- Receive the created PO in Step 2 then post.
- Save the SO in Step 3. Verify the PO Reservation and allocation of the line item. There should be no PO reservation and the allocation is equal to 10.
