When a user password is changed on the SAP backend system, the password does not get automatically changed on the device.

Solution: Log into the Mobile Sales application using your old password, then change the password on the device to match the one entered on the SAP system. See the Sybase Mobile Sales for SAP User Guide for Windows Mobile for instructions.

617859 If your device is not connected to the SAP backend server, online lookups remain in a pending state. If your device does not have network connectivity, an online lookup produces an error.

Solution: Make sure you are connected to the SAP system. In Sybase Settings, select Menu > Show Log to verify your connection to Unwired Server.

617480 You may not receive any notifications on your device for up to one hour after subscribing to SAP.

Solution: None. Your system administrator determines the notification delay when configuring the Mobile Sales application. The default is 60 minutes.

615477 To login as a different user, you must first unsubscribe.

Once you login and subscribe successfully, the user ID box is grayed out.

Solution:
  1. Exit the Mobile Sales application.
  2. Start the Mobile Sales application.
  3. On the login screen, select Menu > Unsubscribe.
  4. Log in with your new user name and password.
610749 The Log Phone Call setting only applies to outgoing calls, not received calls.

If you select the Log Phone Call setting, upon completion of the call, the Mobile Sales application displays a popup dialog asking if you want to log the call as a CRM activity. This setting has no effect on received calls.

Solution: If you want to log a received call as a CRM activity, you must manually create an activity of the type Incoming Call.

608206 Start and end times for Advanced search must be exact matches.

When performing an advanced search, the dates you indicate for the Start Time and End Time reflect the exact date when the activity or opportunity started and ended, meaning, the search will only find records for objects with that exact start date and end date. It does not act as a date range and return records between those two dates.

Solution: None.

590850 Click the Down arrow to select start and end dates for an activity (Windows Mobile Professional).
