Help

If you are receiving an error message or think something is not working correctly with our software, here are some things you can do.

Confirm the Software  is Installed

The WilloWare software needs to be installed on every Dynamics GP client (not just server).  You can confirm the software is installed by looking for the About window.  See the link below to find the About window for your WilloWare product:

Find The About Window

If navigation to the About window is not visible then the product is not installed.  Try installing again from the first step (i.e. run the EXE installer).  Make sure you select the correct installation folder, and pay attention when launching GP that you receive a message to “include new code”:

Include New Code

If you do not receive the message shown above after running the installation then the code was not installed into the correct GP folder. See the installation instructions below:

Installation Instructions

Confirm the Company Is Enabled

The About window for your WilloWare product contains information about the installation status of each Company Database.  Look for information like what is shown below:

Company Status:
TWO:ENABLED
Z1:ENABLED
Z2:DISABLED

If the company in which you are trying to use the product is shown as DISABLED, you will need to run the installation process to enabled the company.  Click on the link below and follow the instructions for Re-Running The Installation.

Installation Instructions

 

Confirm Registration Status

Our software is fully functional in <TEST> companies.  If you are trialing our software you may not have a registration key.  In this case, confirm correct setup for use in a <TEST> company.

Using WilloWare in TEST

If you have purchased a registration key, or have a temp key, check the registration in the WilloWare Registration window.

Registration Window

PLEASE NOTE: A WilloWare Custom Project does NOT have a Registration Window.  The software is programmed to work only for the Site Name found in the Dynamics GP Registration Window and the correct version of Dynamics GP.  The Site Name and GP Version must exactly match the information we had when creating the software.

Confirm Users Have Security Rights

Does it work when logged-in as “SA”?  Even a POWERUSER can have problems if security is corrupted.  If you can make it work as “SA” then you have a security problem.

During installation, your WilloWare software automatically created a Security Role and Security Task which grant access to all windows in the product.  If you can see windows for the product/use the product’s features, when logged-in as SA but not as another user, or if one user can see the windows but another user cannot, check security.  Grant users the appropriate Security Task or Security Role for the WilloWare product. The common IDs are:

  • BLANKETPO (BlanketPO)
  • BOM Import – See MFG Import below
  • CCOUNT (Complete Count)
  • CONSULTKIT (Consulting Toolkit)
  • ETO (Engineer To Order)
  • EZIMPORT (EZ Import)
  • GPPP (GP PowerPack)
  • IPT (Item Process Tracking)
  • LABELLINK (Label Link)
  • LEANMFG (Lean MFG)
  • MFGDATARC (MFG Data Archive)
  • MFGIMPORT (MFG Import)
  • MFGPP (MFG PowerPack)
  • MOGEN (MO Generator & MO Receipt Integration)
  • PREACTOR_INTEGRATION (Preactor Integration)
  • SOPOML (SOP POP MultiLink)
  • SPELLCHECK (SpellCheck)
  • WWCUSTOM (All WilloWare Customizations)

Install the most current Build

If you can use the software but cannot find a particular feature, you might not have it because it was released in a new version.  Or, if you are getting an error (an “Oops” message), we may have already fixed the issue in a new build.

Find the Build Number of your WilloWare software in the About Window:

www.willoware.com/online/about-window/

Then find the Build Number of the most current release:

www.willoware.com/release-notes/

Compare the build numbers.  If you have 16.0.6 installed and the current release is 16.0.7 or 16.0.20, there is a new release available.  While on the Release Notes page, click on the “Release Notes TXT” link to review a file containing the change history for the product.

If a new release is available, download and install the current release.
