An error occurs after you configure Microsoft CRM 1.2 to use a non-U.S. currency number grouping format (886283)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft CRM 1.2

SYMPTOMS

After you configure Microsoft Business Solutions CRM 1.2 to use a non-U.S. currency number grouping format such as # ###,00, an error occurs. This error occurs when you try to enter fractional sales quotas for a Microsoft CRM user account. For example, this error occurs when you enter a fractional sales quota such as 0,10. This problem occurs in the U.S. English version of Microsoft CRM 1.2. When the error occurs, you receive the following error message:
"An Error has occurred. For more information, contact your system administrator."

CAUSE

This error occurs when you try to set a fractional sales quota for a Microsoft CRM user account where one of the following conditions is true:
  • The user account has sales quotas that are set in the U.S. currency format (#,###.00).
  • Sales objects were saved and owned by the user account before you changed the currency format. These sales objects include orders, invoices, and quotes.

RESOLUTION

Microsoft CRM has a fix for this problem that is part of a cumulative update. The cumulative update information is described in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article:

904435 Update Rollup 2 is available for Microsoft CRM 1.2

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, you can return the currency format to the U.S. format. Returning the currency format to the U.S. format lets you enter a fractional sales quota for Microsoft CRM user accounts. (The U.S. currency format is #,###.00.)
