3. Then click on the button "Edit".
4. There click on the button "Edit in editor".

    TL(Tab + "Auction No.:" + Tab + Get("R", 351))

    'TL(Tab + "Auction no.:" + Tab + Get("R", 351))
12. Now find the lines with the following code:
    ItemText = ItemText + szNewLine + "Auction no.: " + Get("P", 146)

Unfortunately, we cannot offer you the import of invoices. Reason for this is the document type "invoices" in Lexware affects the accounting and tax returns. The creation of the document type "Invoices" brings here the danger of errors and consequential errors with errors. Unfortunately, we are not able to estimate these dangers and therefore we will not will not implement the import of invoices.

You have installed a Lexware version with only 3 free fields. Please select in the OscWare configuration in step 3 a existing free field instead of the free field 4.

Solution: Please create a new customer manually in Lexware.

To fix the primary key problem, manually create an order in Lexware.

Once the primary key problem is fixed, OscWare can transfer the orders again.

Possible Cause:
The cause is probably due to the fact that orders are being imported with OscWare and orders are processed directly in Lexware at the same time.

Remedy:
A remedy can be created by heart reduction of the transmission interval.
In this case, it must be ensured that the number of orders to be imported is kept as low as possible.

In OscWare under the point "Automation" can be determined to the associated the corresponding process, in which intervals the orders are to be are transferred, the more often it checks and transfers, the less will be the number of orders per interval.

Please restart your Lexware Server service (database). This service can be found under Windows under "Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services" or by typing "services.msc" in the command prompt.
