Hello all, first post on the SCN. I did some search for similar problems, but nothing seemed to help here.
We are using Business One, two different companies and databases. We were at the time of the year to update the price list, so we used the Administration -> Data Import/Export -> Data Import -> Import from Excel.
One company (US only) imports perfectly, but the other database (Canada + US) gives me the following error message on 91 / 1036 entries.
Row Number xxx : [Items - Valuation Method] , 'Field cannot be updated (ODBC -1029)
Since the errors only appears on one of the two databases, I ruled out that the excel sheet we used to be the problem.
The excel sheet only has 4 columns : The item identification, the price list that it needs to update, the price, and the currency (USD or $ for us).
Neither of the two companies use any valuation method. In fact, neither companies have the field at all in Item Master Data, and its grayed out in the Company Details.
We also made a dump of the entire item database, and compared what items were imported successfully and those that generated the error, and while the column Valuation Method either had nothing or A, there was no pattern to it. Some errors had nothing, some had A in it.
I checked for any other differences between items that were imported and the ones with error, and cannot see any visible differences, so all I can think here is that its either an invisible setting when the item was created, or there's some character that is creating a fault somewhere (like an empty space).
One of the topics found on this error message (ODBC -1029) said that we might need to request a script to fix the database, but that topic was back in 2006, I'm not sure if it still applies, 8 years later.
Essentially I ran out of things to try on my end. Now I can only ask to the experts.
Thank you for your time!
