Why do I keep getting password errors?

Is Transact compatible with older versions of SAP?

A special version of WinR3 Professional (not Transact), that is compatible with 3.x versions of SAP, can be provided. This requires a simple RFC function module to be implemented in your SAP system.

This version of WinR3 Professional, along with the function module, are available at the standard price of Transact and include a free upgrade to Transact at any time. However, only limited support will be provided for this version.

What reports are available to analyse my runs and run results?

There are no standard reports available. However, the Transact database is a simple, open, MS Access database which you can use to build your own reports.

If you have any suggestions for reports that you would like to see in Transact please send a message using the contact form on the About page.

Why do my Sales Order document numbers have an extra '2'?

When creating sales orders, the SAP RFC interface sometimes (often!) appends a 2 to the document number. Please take care and pay close attention to the document numbers created for any of your recordings that create sales orders.
