Pos3/5/FNB: Sync error column Description hit MaxLength limit

From AutoCount Resource Center

Question :

When syncing, I received an error as shown below. How to solve it?

Cannot set column ‘Description’. The value violate the MaxLength limit of this column.


Possible Reason :

The description contains enormous value that does not match current limit of the description column. This is normally a result of copy and paste from excel format.


Solution :

1. login AutoCount POS/Accounting Management Studio > Tools > SQL Query > Yes > enter below query statement > Execute.

select * from Item where Description like '%'+char(13)+'%' or Description like '%'+char(10)+'%'


2. Having identified item listing as shown in query result, go to stock item and edit their description. Try not to copy paste from other source.


3. Perform speed sync again.
