Hi everyone,

I hope you're all doing well. I'm currently facing an issue in Dynamics 365 Business Central and would appreciate any insights or solutions you might have.

Issue:

When creating a purchase order using the dropship functionality, I encounter an error stating that "The Purchase Line does not exist" (as seen in the screenshot below). This seems to be caused by my custom code that fills the "Area" field automatically based on the variant. I added the "Area" field in the variant table and linked it with the purchase line table. Here's the code snippet:

Error Message:

"The Purchase Line does not exist. Identification fields and values: Document Type='Order', Document No.='PO000095', Line No.='10000'"

    You are not supposed to call modify there because there is a chance the record has not been inserted into the database.

    There is not a lot of description on this message, but just by looking at the Screenshot, you should not be calling that "Modify()" clause in your code.
     
    You are placing code inside the OnValidate trigger of a table, and this trigger many times can be called over a record that hasn't been added to the database yet.
     
    If you're purpose is just to update the "Area" with the "Area" that you found on the Item Reference, all you have to do is assign the value, like you are doing (rec."Area" := itemRef."Area"), and stop there. 
     
    The Rec.Modify (or even Rec.Insert) will happen from the interface later on.
