Resolution
  • If document needs to be posted:
  1. Open a new Case with Certinia Support.  Support will change the associated Worker Item Attempts Remaining field from "0" to "3"
  2. Check the background worker attempts is set to 3 by navigating to Setup > Develop  > Custom Settings > click Manage next to "Accounting Settings (FF)" > click Edit > populate Background Worker Attempts with "3" > Click Save
  3. If there is an error in the Accounting Background Worker logs or if another error is identified, correct the error. (example, open a closed Period)
  4. Run the Background Posting Scheduler again.
  • If document needs to be set to "In Progress":
    • For versions later than Spring 2019, if there is an associated Worker Item, contact Certinia Support. If there is no associated Worker Item, take the following steps:
  1. Go to All Tabs(+) > Sales Credit Notes
  2. Select the Sales Credit Note in question
  3. Find Credit Note Status field and select “In Progress" from the drop down
  4. Click Save
  • For versions prior to Spring 2018 SP12, Fall 2018 SP8 and Spring 2019 where there is an associated Worker Item, contact Certinia Support.  Support will delete the associated Worker Item and set document to "In Progress"
Cause
