Multiple Clients with same odd message: SI UOM used

    Posted 10-07-2025 14:38

    Suddenly, in the last 40 minutes, we have three different clients report this message from Sales Order Entry or SO Shipping:  SI UOM used with an OK Button
    none of the clients can use Sage 100 at this time.  All three have StarShip.  All three have ScanForce in some capacity.  oh, now a fourth and fifth client same problem.  They say when they go from LINES to Totals it happens.    Thinking maybe Avalara?  Ideas?

    asking a client to change sales tax to Nontax and go to the totals tab to see if it is still a problem.  stand by.

    NOT related to Sage UOM. 

    I found one entry related to Epicor last year that indicated something on the Avalara side that was resolved same day.  I have a working Case for a Customer.

    They can ship/invoice but the tax is wrong.  Don't print.  Will need to recalc tax when resolved.

    I have a customer that is getting this as well and has Avalara and is reporting the SI UOM error only pops when you enter in freight and if you OK through it, It 0 out the sales tax.

    x-ref - this happened in 2021 and appeared to be a multi-day issue - https://community.90minds.com/discussion/si-uom-error

    My notes from a (former) Avalara users is that this instance had something to do with Canadian SHIP or BILL  TO

    Yes I don't think that it's likely the same cause - SI UOM is probably an untrapped error type message.

    It looks like it could be an RCF.

    Ok, Donna had the same issue with a client.  She had a credit memo that was failing with the same error.
    She noticed all the Taxable lines were coming up as non-taxable (totals were showing up on the Non-Taxable box in the Totals tab).
    She fixed it by removing the Freight from the totals tab, then all sales went into the taxable box and calculated tax correctly.  She just added a "Freight" line as a workaround for now.  Hope that helps.

    Recalc Tax does not work either and won't until Avalara fixes it.

    Tax Class did not change.

    Removing Freight caused no Taxable or NonTaxable Amount returned.

    I have a client reporting it as well, also uses Avalara and only with orders that have freight.  Has this been reported to Avalara?

    Although DSD clearly wants us to always go through Avalara for support, I have reported it directly to DSD. 

    I have not opened a case with Avalara, I'm hoping they are getting inundated with cases. unless everyone thinks that too

    It's not the connector.  I opened a Case with Avalara a couple hours ago.  Phone call next though I suspect y'all have beaten me to it.

    I gave a call into Avalara about an hour ago, they weren't much help and advised me to submit a case from the Partner Portal, which I did. Per their website still no incidents reported that I can see.

    Clients have tried removing freight, then popping back to Lines, then Totals.  They get tax calc'd but if they add Freight back in on the Totals tab, it zeroes out tax.

    UPDATE

    Hi Bob,

    Thank you for reaching out.

    We are aware of a deploy that went out earlier today that seems to be resulting in the SI UOM message and error seeing. We are working on rolling this back now and I will provide an update as soon as that has been completed.

    Thank you,

    Hi Bob,

     

    Thank you for the response.

     

    Our engineering teams have let me know that the rollback has been completed. Can you please confirm that users are starting to report the error clearing up?

    As an FYI - I notified a good sized client who uses Avalara and they reported ( I did not watch over their shoulder to see how they tested ) that they were not getting this issue and weren't able to reproduce it even when I suggested it was somehow related to freight.

    I am not saying this issue isn't happening - or urgent - just that for one of my clients it didn't seem to be happening.

    Today one of our 8+ clients reporting this is saying it is now working properly.  They have not tested with Freight, and will advise if that is not working; but I think the issues have been resolved.  I reached out to two other AvaTax clients, and they did not experience any issue yesterday.  Avalara still has nothing on their Status Page regarding this degradation.

    This can be moved out of URGENT at this time.
