Dynamics NAV - LS Retail - The POS Data Entry already exists. Identification fields and values: Entry Type := 'GIFTCARDNO', Entry Code='xxx'

Cause:
Possible data corruption from disconnection or bad sync

When Web Services are enabled for gift cards, if the POS loses connection, it will prompt to continue or cancel upon creation of a gift card.
If the user selects continue, it will create the gift card locally.
When internet resumes, regular push jobs may push the voucher to the head office where it may already exist if it was created previously.
To prevent this, you must modify the option to prevent the user from saying yes to continue with gift card creation when there is no connection for web services.

Resolution:
Clear the corrupted records.
Re-synchronize the table

Delete FROM [POS Data Entry] where [Entry Code] = 'xxx'

Dynamics NAV - LS Retail POS - Pharmacy - "POS Prescription Order Posting already exists."

Cause:
This happens when a prescription has had lines against it in the POS, but is then deleted or removed at the store level.
This results in orphan lines with references to a prescription that does not exist, and causes the POS to crash when attempting to exit the prescription from the POS.

Resolution:
Update the POS Trans. Line table, remove any references to the offending Prescriptions in the Prescription Order no. column.
Once removed, you will be able to void the pos lines as regular transactions.

-----------------------
  update [CRONUS].[dbo].[CRONUS$POS Trans_ Line]
  set [Prescription Order No_] = ''
  where [Prescription Order No_] = 'PRPO095043'

eOne Smartconnect - Input variable contains a duplicate document (IVDOCNBR)

Other Errors: The Lot quantity passed in is <> to the transaction quantity
This error occurs during Purchase Receipt Imports, or Item Transaction imports

Cause:
The integration is creating the header first, and when it attempts to create the line, it detects the header already exists and fails.
By default, it attempts to create a new document instead of update the existing document.
The document numbers may genuinely already exist, ensure that your map is pointing to the correct company. Check the tables for any duplicate document numbers you may have already imported.

Solution:

• If there is a flag to update lines, this should be marked
• Key Field should be: Document Number
• Include a LineItemSequence
• Change the order of integration to Lots>Lines>Transaction Header

If all else fails, use Integration Manager.
