VI import error

We are trying to import sales and AP invoices, getting Sage100 error message: "A task ID or program name has not been associated with this menu item." Can anyone advise on what this error is?

  • What are you using to import into sage 100?

    If you are using a VI job that was added to the menu, the job itself was likely deleted without ever having been removed from the menu.  You'll need remove the old menu links, recreate the import jobs and then add them back to the menu.

    If you are using a custom solution, it seems based on the log that it may be trying to launch a menu task that no longer exists.

    You should check if any third party solutions exists and maybe if a sage 100 upgrade done recently, check if the third party solutions were installed properly.

  • Are you trying to run the VI job with a script outside of Sage 100?

    Thanks for the reply. I will check all the menu links.

    These are sales and AP import files  produced by our software. We have checked them through the VI and they don't have any errors. We are uploading using the command line:

    M:\Sage 100 Standard\MAS90\Home\ PVXWIN32.EXE ..\LAUNCHER\SOTA.INI ..\SOA\STARTUP.M4P -ARG DIRECT UION Kandice 1 HDT VIWI03NAME DISPLAY 

    Does the Program Argument/Run Mode need to be "MANUAL" or "AUTO"?

    When we execute the command line we can see the VI jobs running, but the data is not brought into Sage.

    Thanks.

    We are uploading from outside software using the command line:

    M:\Sage 100 Standard\MAS90\Home\ PVXWIN32.EXE ..\LAUNCHER\SOTA.INI ..\SOA\STARTUP.M4P -ARG DIRECT UION Kandice 1 HDT VIWI03NAME DISPLAY 

    I'm not sure the Program Argument/Run Mode is correct. Does it need to be "MANUAL" or "AUTO"?

    When we execute the command line we can see the VI jobs running, but the data is not brought into Sage and we are getting the error message as well.

    Your command line should not have "NAME" following the VI job's name, it should just be "VIWI03" followed by AUTO, DISPLAY, or MANUAL. 

    See this KB for more info.

    When they say "App Name" don't include the word "Name" JoyJoy
