DB01003: Transaction Failed
What This Means
A database transaction could not be completed. Transactions group multiple operations together — if any part fails, everything is rolled back to maintain data integrity.
Common Causes
- Concurrent access — Multiple operations trying to modify the same data
- Storage full — No space to write new data
- Database locked — Another process is locking the database
- Power interruption — Operation interrupted unexpectedly
How to Fix
1. Retry the Operation
The issue may be temporary:
- Wait a moment
- Try the operation again
- Avoid rapid repeated attempts
2. Check for Conflicts
If multiple devices or tabs are open:
- Use one instance at a time
- Close duplicate browser tabs
- Coordinate multi-device usage
3. Check Storage Space
Ensure there's space for data:
- Check available disk space
- Free up space if needed
- Clear browser cache (web version)
4. Restart the Application
Reset the database state:
- Close the POS completely
- Wait a few seconds
- Reopen the application
5. Clear and Re-sync
If transactions consistently fail:
- Clear local data
- Login again
- Sync fresh from server
Transaction Safety
WCPOS uses transactions to ensure:
- Data consistency
- Complete operations (all or nothing)
- Protection against partial updates
When a transaction fails, your data remains consistent.
