"Did not save" error

[Joseph Siame]

Hi

I ran into a problem while trying to add a new item and a new employee.

When adding a new item, i tried to save and a "DId not save" message pops up. The when trying to add a new employee i get a message saying "already exists".

The console shows "XXXXXX already exists" (Where XXXXX looks like an employee code) how can i rectify this problem?

Thanks
Joseph

Joseph,

The message is quite clear - you can't create 2 employees with the same name.

Hi

Yes that much i understand and is logical to not enter an employee with the same name. But I am trying to enter with a different name a unique name so to speak.

In your account, Employee Id is generating based on "Employee Number". If you want that by naming series, please change in "Setup --> Global Defaults".

Thanks,

Hi

Here is a screen shot of the same. I changed the default from settings of how employees should be created to "Employee" and that worked fine except i have to keep adding the number and this will get confusing.

Using the the naming series generates the error message, is the a way to work around this? or is there a way to auto-increment the employee number?

Thanks.

[Joseph Siame]

Its fine i sorted it out. all i had to do was update the numbering series to latest one that was free.
