Caller User Does Not Have Create Permissions to Total Amount Field

Problem: The following error appears when attempting to create a work order using Cloud Connect CE with Microsoft Dynamics 365 CE: Caller user does not have create permissions to Total Amount field.

Prerequisites

  • Working with Cloud Connect CE and Microsoft Dynamics 365 CE.

Cause

This error occurs because the Total Amount field on the Work Order entity is column-secured, and the application user does not have create permission through the correct Column Security Profile.

Solution

To resolve the error, complete the following steps:

Assign the Column Security Profile

  1. Go to the Power Platform Environment.

  2. Select your environment.

  3. Go to Settings.

  4. Expand Users + permissions.

  5. Open Column Security Profiles.

  6. Select Field Service - Administrator.

  7. Select Users.

  8. Add the application user used to communicate between Cloud Connect CE and Microsoft Dynamics 365 CE.

Validate the Fix

  1. Return to the integration configuration page in Cloud Connect.

  2. Attempt to save the configuration again.

  3. If the issue persists, submit a support ticket.

Multiple Records Found

Problem: Clients cannot save a configuration without encountering the error: An error occurred when retrieving the Configurator settings (Multiple records found).

Prerequisites

  • Access to Cloud Connect CE.

  • Access to Microsoft Dynamics 365 CE.

Symptoms

  • When saving a configuration to Microsoft Dynamics 365 CE, the client encounters the error message: An error occurred when retrieving the Configurator settings (Multiple records found).

Possible Causes

  • If Microsoft Dynamics 365 CE encounters multiple active settings, it triggers an error. The system expects only one active setting. Having more than one active setting causes a conflict.

Solution

  1. To resolve the error and ensure only one active setting exists, complete the following steps:

  2. From Microsoft Dynamics 365 CE, go to the Power Platform Environment.

  3. From the side navigation menu, go to Experlogix, and then select Settings.

  4. In Active Settings, verify that only one list of settings is active.

  5. (Optional) Deactivate any additional active settings.

Next Steps

If none of the above steps resolve the issue, consider the following options:

  • Submit a support ticket: Open Support Portal

  • Contact your system administrator for further assistance.

Experlogix  Cloud Connect CE Settings Disappearance

Symptom: The Experlogix  Cloud Connect CE settings disappear in the new interface after a change made by Microsoft, which will be generally available in January 2025.

Cause

Solution

  1. Open Admin Center.

  2. Select an environment.

  3. Go to Settings.

  4. Select Product > Features.

  5. Scroll down to the section Environment Settings Behavior - Advanced Settings Redirection.

  6. Turn it off and save the settings.

  7. Use the base URL + /main.aspx?settingsonly=true to access the old view. The Verify button might fail, but the settings are correct. Try using the Verify button in the old view.

Next Steps

If none of the above steps resolve the issue, consider the following options:

  • Submit a support ticket: Open Support Portal

  • Contact your system administrator for further assistance.

Not Possible to Process if a Host Record is Deleted

Symptom

It is not possible to process to a CE Quote if you manually delete a quote detail from the CE Client. When trying to save the configuration, you receive a "Your configuration did not save successfully" message.

Cause

Processor is attempting an update of a record, but the record does not exist in CE anymore.

Solution

Cloud Connect does not support the restoration of records in a host system from a saved configuration. The record must exist in the host system for configuration data to be processed successfully.

CE Integration OK (502)

Symptom: In Process Designer, the OK (502) error displays for Microsoft Dynamics 365 CE integration:

CE-integration-error.png

Cause

This error is displayed as the host integration is not setup.

Solution

Setup the host integration as per the instructions available at Process Integration Details Tab.

Duplicate Quote or Sales Order Lines Created When Saving a Configuration

Symptom

Duplicate quote detail or sales order line records are created when saving a configuration in Microsoft Dynamics 365 CE. This typically occurs after revising a quote or when a sales order is created from a quote and then reconfigured.

Cause

The Line Item Number field is not mapped in the process design for quote detail or sales order line entities. Without this mapping, Microsoft Dynamics 365 CE treats existing line records as new during the save operation, which results in duplicate line records.

Solution

To resolve the issue, add a field mapping for Line Item Number in the Process Designer.

  1. Open Process Designer.

  2. Find the process map for Quote Detail or Sales Order Line.

  3. Add the following field mapping for Line Item Number:

Name

Field

Data Type

Mapping Type

Foreign Entity

Line Item Number

lineitemnumber

Integer

Number Series

Detail

  1. Save the process design.

  2. Reconfigure and save the quote or sales order again.

Existing line records are updated correctly, and duplicate quote or sales order lines are no longer created.
