Labor Sync Errors

These are some of the common Labor Sync Error messages that your technicians may receive when syncing their devices. Use the table below to troubleshoot and fix these errors.

A valid labor rate does not exist for this position/pay code or department/position/pay code combination.

Description: This error displays when the labor rate group combination assigned to the Customer is not set up with the pay code the technician was using.   Labor Rate Groups must be configured with the proper combination of position, department, and pay code for Labor to be transacted successfully.   If the technician uses one of these pay codes that has not been configured correctly they may see this particular error message preventing them from syncing.

Solution: Adding the appropriate Labor Rate Group combination will resolve this sync error.

The service call entered is either missing or closed. Enter another service call ID.

Description: This error displays when there is stale data on the device.   If a technician is getting this error, the back office has likely deleted or closed the service call that the technician is trying to enter labor towards.

Solution: A DELETE DATA from the device should clear this old data from the device and resolve this sync error.

This batch is marked to be committed and cannot be edited.

Description: This error displays when the batch is marked for processing Payroll Posting.

Solution: The TimeTrack or Payroll batch will need to be unmarked for the technician to be able to sync successfully.

The fiscal period for this date is not part of a fiscal year. Enter a new date.

Description: This error is due to the technician entering a Labor transaction that has a “week-ending” day in a fiscal year that is not currently open.   This is a common error that occurs for technicians in the last week of the year that is due to the upcoming Fiscal Year not being open yet. To check if the current or next fiscal year is open, go to Microsoft Dynamics GP > Tools > Setup > Company > Fiscal Periods to open the Fiscal Period Setup window.

Solution: Opening the Fiscal Period will allow the Technicians to sync this Labor successfully.

This cost code does not exist. Enter another code.

Description: This error states the Cost Code used in the transaction does not exist or does not match the system data.   This could translate to data mismatches or stale middle-tier data.

Solution: Adding, updating, or re-loading (Load Data) the Cost Code data for the transaction will resolve this issue.

Unknown error number XXXXX.

Description: This particular error is due to the system ERROR tables (SVERRORS, WSERRORS, JCERRORS) being empty in the company database. TimeTrack requires these tables to be populated.  This can sometimes happen after a Signature upgrade where the Signature Utilities program was not launched as an Administrator.  

Solution: Re-populating these tables should resolve this issue and Technicians can resync to push the transactions through to the host system.
