Voucher Management Error

SUGGESTED

I have these errors in the Voucher Management module whenever I try to create a Customer/Supplier/General Ledger Voucher, Print a Customer/Supplier/General Ledger Voucher and also in the Voucher Management Defaults UI as attached hereunder.

I have uninstalled my antivirus on the PC and also used another PC without an Anti-Virus yet these errors persist.

Please what do I need to do to fix these errors?

    Good day.

    I have been following closely this conversation. We have been battling with the same issue for weeks now. After trying everything we could possible think of, silly as it may sound, we ran the application as administrator (even though the windows account logged on is an administrator). This resolved our issue. We then made sure that the attached is set on the application - we have had no issue since. Perhaps it might help!

    Many thanks,

    EM.

    Thanks Alex

    I'm currently working on the following hypothesis:

    There may be an incompatibility between the installed Evolution version, vs the installed Voucher Management install

    I'll soon get back to you on this matter with more advise 

    Blessings!

    Hi Alex

    Do you know how to run SQL queries in MS SQL Management Studio on an Evolution database?

    If yes, please run the following SQL script on the company DB 

    select * from _etblAddInRegister

    Then send me a screenshot of this results

    Hi Alex

    I discussed your query today with Evolution Development and they believe this query may be due to some kind of company database corruption.

    Therefore, to prove this hypothesis, please do the following:

    1. Create a brand new Evolution company with your own records:

    1) Create 5 new customers

    2) Create 5 new suppliers

    2. Now process a couple of transactions in Voucher Management and let me know is you can also recreate the above error.

    If not, it means your query are then most certainly company DB related. In that case I will then require a copy of your latest company backup to further investigate in my side.

    Please keep me updated on your findings.

    Blessings!

    Hi Bennie,

    I did as you instruct but still have the same issue. How do I send the database backup to you?

    I'm carefully optimistic here but I think we made breakthrough on your query Slight smile

    Note the following feedback I received from another client who had the same VM error as you:

    In my research this morning as I was helping to troubles shoot on my end I have discovered 2 outcomes;

    VM for v11 seems to have issues with its dlls loading when a user uses a Microsoft account( whether the user is administrator or not)

    If you create a local account and do not link it with Microsoft account, whether it’s a std account or an administrator account, the VM works.

     

    I then asked the client the following:

    But please confirm:

    What do you mean exactly with a Microsoft account? Where exactly is this account used?

     

    The client responded as follow:

    I mean using the procedure below rather than local account.

      

    I then asked the client the following:

    I’m just a bit confused here:

    Are you telling me you logon on to the PC no in the usual way of simply catting the password for the default Windows account?

    But instead you’re using a different way of logging onto the PC?

    Sorry, the above may seem like stupid questions but I just want to make sure, we’re on the same page here

    Hi Bennie,

    I am also confused but to put the records straight, our User Accounts are LOCAL and NOT connected to a Microsoft Account!

    Blessings!

    Yip, me too Slight smile
    But I've arrange a meeting with the other VM client and will soon update you further.

    Good Morning Alex

    Please note the following query that I logged with Evolution Development yesterday after having a detailed discussion with another Evolution client having the same VM error as yourself:

    Please assist with the following query:

    The following error message is displayed in Voucher Management when clicking on any dropdown in any kind of transaction screen 

      

    We made sure that the .NetFramework option for 3.5 and ASP.Net 4.8 is selected in the Control Panel | Turn Windows Features on or of screen

     

    Please also note the following:

    The BP created a non-Microsoft user account on his client's workstations where the above error is displayed, and doing that resolved the error.

     

    However, the same error is also observed on the BP's own laptop and even after he applied the same 'work around' the same error still persists on his PC's VM transaction screen. 

    There are two ways to create a user account on a Windows PC. One way is to create a non-Microsoft Windows user account, and that is described in the attached document called 'Creating a non-Microsoft Windows user account'

    Creating a non-Microsoft Windows user account.docx

     

    So the questions to be answered:

    1) What can cause the above error?

    2) Why is working with a non-Microsoft user account resolving the error on at least the BP's client's workstations? 

    3) Could it perhaps be due to certain security measures that Microsoft type Windows user accounts apply and that somehow affects VM?

     

    And using a non-Microsoft type Windows user account is not applying the same security measures/policy? 

    NOTE that this error is not due to a defect as its working fine on my PC and others.

     

    This query is a combination between Evolution and the local PC / environment.

    I have two separate clients' queries with the same error in Evo ver 11

    Good Morning Bennie,

    Thank you for the good work you are doing to resolve this issue. God bless you!

    Out of curiosity I also created a Local Account but the story is not different from what it has been.

    Expectantly waiting for favorable feedback.

    Blessings!

    Hi Alex

    Yes, bless you and your loved ones too! Slight smile

    Can you please try the following:

    1. Close Evolution.

    2. Go to the installed Evolution folder e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Sage Evolution

    3. In here find the VM folder and then give it full share rights: Read and Full Write access for all users and even add your own normal Windows account also as a user with these rights

    4. Now open the Evolution company and test if there is any improvements?

    Please update me on this chat.

    Hi Bennie,

    I have done as instructed but there is no improvement

    I'm currently still awaiting feedback from Evo Dev on my latest query to them as mentioned above

    Please also confirm:

    In what country are your company and where you're staying?

    My other client with the same query is working for a BP called ESN'B (Pty) Ltd

    Hi Bennie,

    I trust you are doing fine.

    It's exactly 14 days since I heard from you regarding my issue, and I hope all is well with you.

    Blessings!

    Hi Alex

    I so wish I had any solution for you

    We're currently still working on exactly the same error as logged by a Business Partner called ESN'B (Pty) Ltd for their client in Kenya.

    And not even Evolution Development is able to provide a solution for us.

    The current hypothesis is that this type of VM error can only be local PC in one way or another. 

    This error is by no means due to a software bug and the bigger PC /domain/network are the only probable causes/factors for it. 

    If I may ask, where is your offices? In which country/city?

    Hi Alex

    I received an e-mail alert from someone who made the following suggestion to resolve this matter (not sure who it was???)

    Hello guys,

    Try this solution if you may.

    Remove tick from .NET Framework 3.5 and .NET Framework 4.8 including their subfolders. Reboot PC.

    Then go back and select all of them again so they get reinstalled. Reboot PC.

    Check if problem is solved.
