RE: Compatibility of Trados Business Manager Lite with Trados Studio 2024 Freelance for Invoice Creation

Claud — Mon, 30 Sep 2024 19:31:44 GMT

It's greyed out! I just discovered that Trados Business Manager Light has been discontinued and there is now only a 2022 version available.

https://appstore.rws.com/Plugin/101

I'm wondering if there are any plugins or software integrations for Trados (desktop or cloud version) that can help with generating invoices and entering translation rates.

Compatibility of Trados Business Manager Lite with Trados Studio 2024 Freelance for Invoice Creation

Claud — Mon, 30 Sep 2024 17:09:11 GMT

Hi Trados Community,

Is Trados Business Manager Lite compatible with Trados Studio 2024 (18.0.0.103) Freelance? I'm looking to create invoices for my projects within Trados Studio.

Best,

Claud

I was not sure whether the Studio version displayed on the right list was greyed out, but it prevented me from checking the corresponding box. However, the Next button at the bottom was still clickable. Due to this issue, I decided to cancel the installation.

Invoice status not updating after entering payment

Yiftah Hellerman-Carmel — Thu, 16 Apr 2020 11:17:07 GMT

Hello Eugene,

I have just noticed the in the Invoice tab, Main (no details) view, the status of the invoice does not change automatically to Paid after entering a payment for this invoice. The status remains "Created". It does work though in the Main view with details.

Can you fix this?

Thanks

Import data from BaccS back up file into Business Manager

James Brewis — Thu, 02 Feb 2023 15:39:20 GMT

Hello,
I have been using BaccS but my laptop got stolen and I now only have access to a backup file (.bak) and a .sdf file but I can't use them. Is there any way of extracting this data into Business Manager?

Thanks,
James

Hi James,

Ohhh.. just, no words ((( Hope you had backup of most important data, and it wasn't too hurting..

As for restoring access, we have this page where you can download older version:

Download links for older versions

And recently we've got a topic about moving to Business Manager:

moving from Baccs 4.14.0 to TBM Essential

Hope it helps.

How to import JSON files from Baccs to Business Manager Lite?

Egmont Schröder — Wed, 19 Oct 2022 10:40:46 GMT

I finally decided to move from Baccs to BM Lite.

Today I wanted to import my data from Baccs to BM Lite that I exported to JSON before, but I get the error "File cannot be opened".

Do I need BM Essential for this?

Thanks for the help.

Hi Egmont,

I'm also a bit lost in your questions and strange issues.

Then I deleted the database and json, but nothing happened.

If you delete database file and appsettings_global.json file, and then start the app, it will create a new database. Does this happen? When deleting these 2 files, the app starts to behave as you have clean installation.

How could I know why it doesn't start?? Error messages, or something?

Sorry, can't agree. There is simple rule, descrubed here:

Essential - database file

Config file (appsettings_global.json)

RE: How to import JSON files from Baccs to Business Manager Lite?

Egmont Schröder — Mon, 24 Oct 2022 08:35:11 GMT

I am totally lost now and pretty unsatisfied.

Why can't I log into the Business Manager? Why does the old version of Baccs don't start?

I opened DB Browser for SQLite and the table PermissionPolicyUser for the database, but it is empty.

Then I deleted the database and json, but nothing happened.

Is it really so complicated just to get the software started? I have a pile of invoices to write and no time for this.

I am going to find another solution.

RE: How to import JSON files from Baccs to Business Manager Lite?

Egmont Schröder — Sun, 23 Oct 2022 19:07:58 GMT

Thank you for your instruction. I think there is a misunderstanding: I used Baccs before, not Trados Business Manager.

So TBM Light is not supported anymore? I think it is better to switch to Essential then.

Thsi is from the referenced thread:

[quote userid="145841" url="~/product-groups/trados-portfolio/business-manager/f/business-manager/36888/is-there-a-way-to-bypass-the-sign-in-screen-i-have-lost-my-password-and-user-id/120137"]2. Open application database there (by default, stored in app install folder\resources\bin\database)[/quote]

Where exactly can I find this folder? What does "App install folder" mean?

RE: How to import JSON files from Baccs to Business Manager Lite?

Eugene Kuchynski — Fri, 21 Oct 2022 13:52:21 GMT

Hi Egmont,

Probably you already had database there, and changed password before. This is the only reason why default password does not work. If you don't need your database, then you can delete database folder and appsettings_global.json file. After that, run the app, and the new database will be created. If you can't delete database and want to restore you password, then I recommend to check this thread, where you can find instructions how to reset your password:

I can't tell you what version of baccs I am using, the button "About" is not working

[/quote]

Version can be found by hovering 'i' icon in the left bottom corner. I think you use TBM 6.

Do you think I can import everything to Business Manager Essential?

[/quote]

TBM Lite does not support importing from Essential version. We have introduced Lite along with TBM 5, so Lite only supports import from TBM 5. After releasing TBM 6, we have stopped Lite development, and for this reason migration from TBM 5 to TBM Lite is not supported and wasn't implemented, sorry.

I downloaded Business Manager Essential and ended up with a login mask.

According to

Installing SDL Trados Business Manager Essential

I used the following credentials:

user name: Admin, password: User@TBM

It doesn't work, I get the error that "Username or password are incorrect".

wrong version of Business Manager?

Janine Vieler — Fri, 18 Feb 2022 18:46:59 GMT

Good evening!

I've started using Business Manager Lite, bit I don't know where to enter the freelancer data, i.e. the data for the tax code/VAT number.

I have the suspicion that I am using the wrong version of business manager.
How much does the TBM Team version cost and where can I download it or receive an activation key?

Thank you for your kind support1
