Know Issues and Limitations

Solid Commerce

• Changing the mapping of SC SKU to Connected Business (CB) Item Name introduced a limitation. SC uses SKU to check for existing product when uploading products. Item Name in CB is editable. When a product is already uploaded and its Item Name has been edited afterward, succeeding upload will create new product on SC. Because of this, avoid changing Item Name on CB after product has been uploaded. In addition, if SKU of uploaded product needs to be corrected, the product already uploaded to SC should be deleted first then upload the product with correct SKU.
• Less Than (<) and Ampersand(&) symbols should not appear in Item Name field. These two symbols are treated special characters in XML. Though we can encode the text, an error will occur during downloading of order because SKU is not encoded or enclosed in CDATA in SC's order XML.

CRM

• Changing the filter of Date Range causes error on filters added on Sales Rep and Team.
  
  Workaround: Select the filter for the Sales Rep and Team as you change the filter of the Date Range.

Supplier

• Unable to create supplier payment when clicking Pay Bill on Bill window.
  
  Workaround 1: Create payment from Supplier > Payments > New Payment then allocate the payment to bill.
  
  Workaround 2: Uncheck the preference "Allow validation of unique check number per Bank Account" from the Accounting Preference window.

Reports

• All PO codes in Check Stub Stub Report (Quickbooks format) in consolidated GRN are missing and only one PO code is displayed in the PO Number field.
