Error Handling

If the transaction fails PostTrans or Sage 50 API validation, it is moved to a failed directory. Wrong Stock Code, etc. The XML files will have the reason it failed added to the top of the XML for easy user interaction. An e-mail is then sent to a designated user, listing the reasons it failed.

The XML file can then be corrected and moved back to the Sage 50 XML API import folder for submission again. More about errors handling

The software can also be configured to send an e-mail if the software is not running for 30 mins.
