Cannot Update Decimal Places in General Settings

When I try to update the decimal points in the Administration > System Initialization > General Settings > Display path, SAP B1 gives me the following error:
"Cannot update while another user is connected to the company."
I am the only one on the system as "manager" with "Super User" and "Full Authorization"...
The SAP B1 Guide titled "How to Make Initial Setting in Business One - US" says "you can change these settings at any time".
QUESTION:  What might be stopping this change, and more importantly, how do I get around this error to be able to change the decimal points?
Thanks all - Zal

Hi Zal,
I agree with you about the strange messaging used by SAP.
But blocking the possibility to decrease the decimal places is extremely important.
Suppose you have inserted a sales document with two items in this way:
Item 1 ___Qty 1,234  ___Unit price 1,22  ___Line total  1,51
Item 2 ___Qty  5,756 ___Unit price 3,15  ___Line total 18,13
____Document total 19,64
Then, someone wants to change the number of decimal places of the quantity from 3 to 2.
What happens would be:
Item 1 ___Qty 1,23  ___Unit price 1,22  ___Line total  1,51
Item 2 ___Qty  5,75 ___Unit price 3,15  ___Line total 18,13
____Document total 19,64
If you try to do the calculations manually you will see that the results are not correct. In fact all the document would have to change in:
Item 1 ___Qty 1,23  ___Unit price 1,22  ___Line total  1,50
Item 2 ___Qty  5,75 ___Unit price 3,15  ___Line total 18,11
____Document total 19,61
Also if the document total will show correct (in the case of rounding the second decimal position of item 2), the totals of any line is wrong. In fact there is no recalculation at all in SAP (and must not be done).
Imagine such a modification over thousand of documents and all of the descendants (mainly if the have lead to printouts - as say confirmations - sent to customers or vendors).
None of the economic figures will match.

  • Error message when updating decimal places in general settings

    Hello together,
    I got a big problem with the settings of decimal places.
    I know that I am only be able to incerase these but it's a virgin database for a customer with no data imported.
    Everytime I want to increase the prices decimal places I get the following error message:
    "cannot update while another user is connected to the company"
    But I checked all sessions connected to this database. I am the only person that is logged in.
    I closed the db more that one time but it doesn't work.
    Can you help me please?

    Hello Meike,
    I have had this problem a while ago and it was caused by the RPD-connection i had made with the customer server.
    I had to change the values directly on the client machine.
    Hope this also your solution.
    Kind regards.

  • No "Software Update" button in my General settings

    All of a sudden, I am not able to log on to any internet sites on my iPad.  I checked the WiFi and it is excellent.  Then I found out that there is no Software Update button in my General Settings anymore.  I thought I needed to update the software.  And even though I have a WiFi signal, I cannot get on iTunes, Apps or any other website.  I Reset my network settings, signed in again and still no web access or Software update feature.  Do I need to plug my iPad into my Mac?  I am afraid to corrupt my computer.  I tried to find my operating system in my settings folder, but I couldn't find it.  Has this happened to anyone else?  Any help would be appreciated!

    The Settings > General > Software Update option only shows if you have iOS 5+ on the iPad - you current version is shown in Settings > General > About > Version. If you are on iOS 4 then you will need to do the next update via your computer ( the iPad and your Mac are different operating systems, so I'm sure why you think the iPad will corrupt it).
    If you want to update to the current version (i.e. 5.1.1) then connect the iPad to your computer and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases (you may also want to copy photos off the iPad as well) and then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'. You may also want to copy off the iPad any important documents, notes, files etc e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case.
    You can then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

    That only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
    Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases - you may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case.

    ... and the option to update the software from the iPod using Settings/General is not available on iOS 4 or earlier.
    You can get free Apps with iOS 3.x - providing they will run on the version you have. That's dependant upon your model of iPod. So before anything else, which version of iOS do you currently have on your iPod and do you know which model you own?
