eConnect PO - Invalid BuyerID

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by devinmcm1 582
I am working on a Purchase Order integration with GP 2013 which has been working fine for awhile, in testing. I am using SmartConnect to integrate incoming POs Just recently, even though there are no changes to the source data, or the SmartConnect maps, eConnect is suddenly complaining of an Invalid Buyer ID I am not sending Buyer ID in the map as it is not a requirement. Something about GP changed to cause eConnect to start complaining about invalid Buyer ID. The people in charge of the GP side have been fiddling with GP but are not being helpful in understanding what has changed. What changes in GP could have possibly caused this to happen? Buyer ID is never required and is not sent in my XML so I am completely stumped. Any help would be most appreciated. Thank you

    Although it is not a requirements, and just for the sake of testing, in case you include it in your map and pass a buyer id  of "Default" for all purchase orders of creating it in Dynamics GP, would the problems continues to occur ?

    Your feedback is highly appreciated,

    I am going to try that, yes, but my bigger concern is why did it suddenly start complaining about BuyerID when there have been no changes to anything?

    This is not an easy question I guess, the test above might help us figure it out.

    ok  I set up a single Buyer in the company then hard-coded that Buyer into the SmartConnect map and it works... still not sure why it changed after 4 months of testing without a BuyerID at all

    Well, the main point of the test above is to ensure that there are no issues with any stored procedure. Since including the buyer id works, then it is related to the parameters passed through the SmartConnect map.

    So, does it get your issue resolved ?

    Mahmoud,

    I have a question.

    DEVINMCM1 said, after passed the Buyer ID to the SmartConnect map(Even though buyer id is not mandatory for PO), it was worked without any issue. But,  for the 4 month of testing. It was also worked fine without the Buyer ID.

    I think, this is related to  PO setup in GP with and without Buyer ID. I have analysed and played with many changes in GP purchase order setup. But, nothing related to PO setup with and without Buyer ID.

    I am love to know the proper answer for this case.

    Your reply is much appreciated.

    Hey Soma

    Glad to hear from you ,

    As you know, in Dynamics GP, the buyer id is not a required field and there is no setup for such option on the purchase order processing setup window.

    Since the integration worked properly for quite long time with no reported issues, a preliminary troubleshooting would lead you to the fact that something has been changed on the setup level in Dynamics GP. Although, we do know that there is nothing to be changed or reconfigured.

    Therefore, I believe that there could have been something wrong passed through the integration,

    I would be interested in case any further findings were figured out.  For the mean time, I think this could just solve the problem most efficiently and effectively.

    You are always welcome Mr. Soma

    Never hesitate to share any findings on your side, would better help reconsider the problem.
