Hello,

I'm trying to upload a journal entry from Excel to GP via the integration manager.

I'm using "GL transaction using one source file"

I'm using a csv file in excel and the following is the format:

7800-08 JE TEST .01

no headers.

I run integration and get the following error message:

Source: Ln 174 Col 16, Update module, Last CBOM field read was 'Entries'.'Account Number', Last window field visited was 'Account Number' of window 'Transaction_Scroll' of form 'GL_Transaction_Entry'

Log:DOC 1 ERROR: Length of account '000114000' is 9. You must use the Great Plains account length of 6.

status code: 0x90040010 (-1878786032)

Help?

Thanks in advance!

For some reason it thinks you are trying to reference an account number: '000114000', which you shouldn't because your account numbers are only six digits. If you right click on the source and select Preview data do you see your accounts in the correct format?

On a side note I recently created a simple customization of Microsoft Excel that allows you to import a journal entry directly into GP via an excel template. Let me know if you are interested and I can send you more info.

Kevin, what does your customization consist of? Are you using VBA to execute e-connect stored procs? I am have customized some excel templates, but we are using a product called SmartConnect. They have an excel add in that they build which is okay, but I have been able to use VBA so submit an XML file to their webservice, which takes care of the rest. But the end result is sending data to e-connect to process.
What type of authentication are you using for excel to connect to the database? You can't be using GP users, right?

Our customization uses eConnect and GP user names and passwords.

Select source and click properties to refresh columns. And select preview to check whether the datas are showing properly or not.

I would go to www.DynamicsInnovations.com and download Excel Paste for GP. The GL integration is free and it works!
