Biller information not showing on invoices

Hi!

As of about a month ago, all my invoices have the biller field empty, even though my company information is entered in the settings, as before.

I'm running version 6.1.55. I would update to try and fix the bug, but I get an error (the remote server returned an error (404)) every time I try to download the update, even though my network connection is definitely working fine.

Deactivating and reactivating the product doesn't seem to be an option either, because I also get an error when I try to do that!

Any suggestions?

Regards,
Dan

    You use custom invoice templates or default ones? Here is the correct binding for the Biller info which should be used in your invocie templates:

    Just checked in few other instances, and in both cases update was downloaded correctly. Just in case, here is the direct link to the lates update (I suppose you use Essential version?):

     update.sdl.com/.../trados_business_manager_desktop_6.1.66.exe

  • Hi Eugene,

    Thanks for your reply. Could you check my message in the Business Manager group? After reinstalling, I can't login to TBM at all, so I can't yet try your suggestions.

    Also, I am using default templates, so its isn't caused by custom settings.

    And the update link you pasted seems to be incomplete. It reads update.sdl.com/.../trados_business_manager_desktop_6.1.66.exe. Could you send the full link? Hopefully installing the latest version will solve these other problems.

    Regards,

    Dan.
