Common Errors and FAQs
Numbering
Spectrum only allows 10 characters on commitment numbers, whereas Procore numbers are often longer.
Agave Sync can automatically take the last N characters of the Procore commitment number to minimize errors. For example, if your commitment is SC-AG2501-001
and the setting is set to 10
, the Spectrum commitment number will be AG2501-001
.
If the Sync Procore POs as Subcontracts setting is enabled, this number must be 9 or less. The first letter will be P
or S
to notate which Procore commitment type it came from.
Work with your Agave rep to enable this.
What Info-Link Tables do I need?
The following Info-Link tables are required when syncing Purchase Orders from or to Spectrum:
- PO_PURCHASE_ORDER_HEADER_MC
- PO_PURCHASE_ORDER_DETAIL_MC
For details on enabling Info-Link tables for your user, see Steps 2.7 in our Spectrum authentication guide.
Locked Tables
You may encounter an error like the following when attempting to sync a record (e.g. a Purchase Order):
This error is from another Viewpoint Spectrum User having a window with this record open, which causes the table for the record to be locked.
To unlock the table:
- From the Sitemap, go to System Administration-->Utilities-->View Locked Database Tables:
- Here you can see a list of locked tables. You can either email the Spectrum User that has locked the table, or alternatively press Remove Session:
- If you selected Remove Session, input the Session ID and press OK:
- A window will appear confirming you have removed the session. Returning to the View Locked Database Tables page will show no sessions.
