Posted on by Elofly 175

Hello everyone,

We use EDIT in EXCEL to update information in our BC.

On the Vendor Ledger Entries page it doesnt seem to work although I receive an ok message.

For example: 

I have those entries:

I Edit in Excel and fill in the DOCUMENT STATUS

I then publish and I receive the message that the info is published ok.

However the field is now empty

When I go back online I cannot see the changes

    Hello,

    What is the release you are using, v14, v15, v16 or v17 or is this a release that is hosted in the cloud / SaaS release?

    Thanks.

    I had the same issue when we first migrated into Microsoft Dynamics from Salesforce.  I was told by our Microsoft consultant that it only works with our "Open" opportunities in our case. I'm not sure we have a special case since we have locked fields once our opportunities are "closed" now and the "Open in Excel Online" Edit is supposed to work even with Read-only records. I would like to know of an in-house, easy function to edit en-masse like Salesforce does.  There are outside apps that help, but I'm not too keen on using third party apps to run normal functions in the database...then the functionality and security are after-thoughts.

    Hello,

    These fields seems to be customized as I do not have them or is this some sort of localization?
