| − | This section covers common issues and solutions related to connecting HandiFox to QuickBooks and synchronizing data between QuickBooks and your handheld devices.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Restore the Connection Between HandiFox and QuickBooks===
| |
| − | '''Problem:'''
| |
| − | Sometimes you may notice that transactions or other data created or updated on handheld devices:
| |
| − | *Do not upload to QuickBooks
| |
| − | *Do not download from QuickBooks to the handheld device
| |
| − | *Warning messages in HandiFox Monitor, such as:
| |
| − | *''Connecting to QuickBooks under user x'' (repeated several times without connecting)
| |
| − | *''Cannot connect to QuickBooks''
| |
| − | *''Cannot connect to ComAdapter.exe''
| |
| − | | |
| − | These issues indicate that HandiFox is having trouble connecting to QuickBooks through the ComAdapter.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Solution:'''
| |
| − | Restoring the connection is straightforward by restarting the ComAdapter (ComAdapter.exe).
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Steps:'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | #Open '''[[Troubleshooting#How_to_Launch_Task_Manager|Task Manager]]''' on your computer.
| |
| − | #Go to the '''Details''' tab.
| |
| − | #Locate '''ComAdapter.exe''' in the list of processes.
| |
| − | #Right-click '''ComAdapter.exe''' and select End Task or End Process Tree.
| |
| − | #Navigate to the HandiFox installation folder (usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Tecom Group\HandiFox)
| |
| − | #Launch '''ComAdapter.exe''' manually by double-clicking the file.
| |
| − | <br>
| |
| − | {{Warningshort | '''Note:''' After performing this procedure, the HandiFox menu in QuickBooks will not respond. To restore access to HandiFox functions within QuickBooks, simply restart QuickBooks.}} | |

| − | ===QuickBooks Permission Errors===
| |
| − | <br>
| |
| − | [[File:QBpermerror.PNG | left | 500px]]
| |
| − | <br>
| |
| − | If you see error messages like:<br>
| |
| − | ''"Failed to get ... Insufficient permission level to perform this action"'' | |
| − | <br> | |
| − | It means the current logged-in QuickBooks user lacks the minimum permissions required for HandiFox to function properly.
| |
| − | <br> | |
| − | <br> | |
| − | '''Solution:'''
| |
| − | <br> | |
| − | Log in as a QuickBooks Admin and grant the necessary permissions to the users who log in to the company file on the computer where HandiFox is installed.
| |
| − | Granting new permissions can be done via ''Company → Users → Set Up Users and Roles...
| |
| − | <br> | |
| − | Below is a summary of the minimum permissions a QuickBooks user should have to ensure the proper functioning of HandiFox.<br>

This role should include all the permissions required for HandiFox to synchronize properly with QuickBooks. Once assigned, all users with this role will have the necessary access, simplifying administration and ensuring consistent permissions.}}

| |
| − | | '''Problem'''|| '''Tips'''
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | | The scanner doesn't recognize the barcode at all (doesn't beep).
| |
| − | || The barcode label could be damaged or poorly printed, so it is not readable. Try another one. Also see the next problem.
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | | The scanner fails to recognize all or a large part of your product labels.
| |
| − | || Perhaps the correct decoder for your label type is not active. Go back to the profile in DataWedge, find the '''Barcode Input''' section and tap on Decoders. Enable more decoders (perhaps all of them, just in case).
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | | The scanner beeps when reading a barcode, but nothing happens in HandiFox (literally nothing at all).
| |
| − | || Double-check the settings of your [[Setting_Up_and_Configuring_Scanner#Creating_a_DataWedge_Profile_.28for_Zebra_Devices.29|HandiFox profile in DataWedge]], '''especially''' the '''Intent Action Name''' {{Info | '''Intent Action Name:''' <big>'''''com.motorolasolutions.emdk.handifox.recvr'''''</big> (no spaces at the beginning or in between characters!)}}. [[File:Dw12.jpg | 250px]]
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | | After scanning an item, its product code gets entered in the search field in HandiFox.
| |
| − | || Go back to the HandiFox profile in DataWedge and make sure '''Keystroke Output''' is '''''disabled'''''. <br>
| |
| − | [[File:Dw9.jpg | 250px]]
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | | When scanning labels, HandiFox always gives the '''''"Cannot find scanned item"''''' message for all your products.
| |
| − | || You need to assign correct barcodes to your products in HandiFox. Click [[Barcoding#Assigning_Barcodes|here]] to learn about assigning barcodes in HandiFox
