Integration Error Messages and Corrective Actions

Here’s a a few helpful tables that outline the various integration error messages you might encounter, along with the corrective actions you can take for each one. 

Not Found Errors

Transaction Date

Transaction Date Review the transaction period with your ERP and ensure the transaction date is within an open accounting period

Prior to processing or syncing an integration ensure that the transaction period selected for the integration is within an open accounting period in your ERP.

  • In the example below, April 2024 is the period selected in Occupier for an integration to NetSuite.

  • Review the accounting periods in NetSuite to ensure the accounting period is not locked and is open for posting GL transactions prior to selecting the period for integration.

Errors requiring your ERP Administrator or Occupier Support

Sometimes, you might encounter errors that need a little extra attention, such as updating the integration settings or addressing connection, credential, or permission issues.

Invalid Configuration Message

Once you've set up your NetSuite Configuration, you might run into an invalid configuration or unauthorized message if there are any errors.  You’ll see a message letting you know that Occupier is having trouble connecting to NetSuite.  To get things back on track, simply reach out to your NetSuite system administrator, or have the Occupier User with Manage Integrations role double-check the Account ID, Consumer and Token Keys, along with the secret codes to make sure everything is entered correctly.
