By | November 18, 2019

In this blog we will be discussing the data length issue related to the billing country field existing in Address (Billing or Shipping). Since GUMU™ integration, consists of Account Promote/Update functionality for data consistency between Salesforce Account and Sage 100 Customer, users would face errors related to the data validation settings in the 2 systems while updates.

If a user is attempting to promote a newly created (or non-linked) Account from Salesforce to Sage 100 ERP system, he follows the below steps in order to promote an Account from Salesforce to Sage 100 ERP system.

  • Click on the Promote Customer Button
Account Details

  • After entering all the valid information in the Promote page, if the user is receiving the below error.

This indicates that the length of the Billing Address or Shipping Address or both, entered in the Salesforce org against the Account is greater than the specified limit allowed in the Sage 100 ERP system.

To Check for the proper country code that has been setup in your Sage 100 ERP System, kindly follow the below steps:

  • Login to your Sage 100 ERP System.
  • From the Modules, select the Library Master Module.
  • Expand the Setup menu and look for the Country Code Maintenance option.
  • Open the file and you will find the Country Code list that has been setup in your Sage 100 ERP System.

The country code defined in Sage 100 ERP has the maximum limit up to 3 characters. Therefore the integration prevents from promoting an account from Salesforce to Sage 100 ERP System. So according to the country code data that has been setup in the Sage 100 ERP system, we have changed the value of billing Country in Salesforce.
