There was a problem processing your request: The system could not complete your request at this time. [Gen001]

This is a generic message for hiding complex failures from the user. Sometimes this error may result when the user attempts to submit information but the required information is incomplete. For instance, if attempting to send an order make sure a Purchase Order Number is entered if the store requires one.

Other General System errors you may encounter:

Browser error messages:

Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site <web address>. The operation timed out.

By design, Internet Explorer imposes a time-out limit for the server to return data. As a result, Internet Explorer does not wait endlessly for the server to come back with data when the server has a problem.

In general, if a page does not return within a few minutes, you may get one of these messages. The most common causes of this error are either a slow network connection, an overloaded server, or the server you are connecting to is down. Retry your request and, if it continues to fail, select a different option from the menu above and try again later.
