I have an AFS session which has been running for eight months which automates our Purchase Invoice Transactions. All of a sudden my user is getting a message "Serial Number too long" when inserting a record into tfacp1110s000. This is only happening to one vendor. I do not have Baan Code - Does any one know what this message means ? I would appreciate any help.

Thanks so much.

Hello ...

I found in messages, that the message that you post it, is the code tfglds0419 - Serial number too long... Then I executed implode by message and I found that the message appears in the function of dll tfglddll6022... I hope that this extract of code can help you, remember search about message tfglds0419... :D

function extern domain tcbool tfgld.dll6022.valid.input(
domain tcncmp comp,
domain tfgld.ttyp ttyp,
domain tfgld.docn docn,
domain tfgld.btno btno,
domain tfgld.long series.found,
domain tfgld.long series.entered,
ref domain tfgld.seri seri,
ref domain tcmcs.s132m o.err.mesg)
{

DLLUSAGE

Expl : This function checks if an entered series number is
valid or not

Pre :

Post :

Input : comp - company number
ttyp - transaction type
docn - document number
btno - batch number
series.entered - boolean,
true - series number is entered
false - series number is not entered
series.found - boolean,
true - series found for the transaction type
false - series is not found for the transaction type

Output : seri - series number

Hmmm - On our 4c4 I found it in include tfgld0022 basically the same code as Baanfans just in an include.

Yes you are right, sorry :confused: I forget read the Baan version... library tfglddll6022 is in BaanERP 5.0c.

Thanks,

I beleive it is realeted to first free number or doc number against the transaction type.

May the Series difined against that transaction type has been filled. so pls open a new series.

thanks
