How to change the company in the BC Outlook Connector

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 390

Hello!

Does anyone know how to change the destination company for incoming documents being sent via Microsoft Outlook?  I used to be able to go to

User Personalizations  >> and then selected the user's name and clicked "edit" -- and I was able to change the destination where the incoming document was going.  That feature may have changed with the recent upgrades....

    Would it be possible to address the licensing issues?

    In our case, we had to recreate the company that had been deleted.  Then we were able to switch companies.

    Hello

    I have had a similar problem. i tried to install Outlook connector and was successful with Chronus company

    then I switched companies but Outlook showed licensing issues

    Hello,

    For the user in question, can you rerun assisted setup while he is logged on to the correct company.

    If you want to reset the user the hard way, you can delete the Exchange identifier property from the user page for the user. Then rerun assisted setup again.

    Hope it helps.

    Thank you...  Let me check again... I did not see the three buttons.

    A backup company that was being used has been deleted.

    I have changed the destination company in BC so it now points to the correct company.

    However, Outlook seems stuck...

    Thank you for taking the time to respond...

    Much appreciated!!

    Thank you very much!!  

    I made the change under the user's name -- and pointed it to the correct company.  However, I still get an error message when I go in Outlook and try to send documents to BC -- via the incoming documents feature...

    The user had been using a backup company and that company no longer exists.  It has been deleted.

    I checked BC -- and I have the destination as the "live" company, but it seems Outlook is stuck!

    Thank you!!

    A user can select the company. In the outlook client there are three buttons in the top right. One of those offers a company switch. Typically the client logins to the last used company. For new users I’d expect user personalisation to work
