The call stack points to the failing code, which is VERY helpful.
The source of the error can be:
- Base BC code
- Standard Mobile WMS code
- Partner Extension code
The call stack is included in the error XML response and in the Mobile Document Queue.
The Request /Response shows also what data was exchanged between Mobile and BC.
Step 3.1: Could a third-party extension be the cause?
If you have other extensions installed, add-ons, or from your partner.
Try uninstalling them temporarily Consider doing this in a sandbox (step 6) to avoid disrupting the business.

- Select an extension
- Select the three dots
- Select Uninstall

Add ?page=9510 to your URL to open the "Event Subscriptions" -page.
Step 4: Has the system been updated lately
