    Hi, here is what I think is happening.

    That SALES INV series in your screenshot has only Manual Nos ticked and no Starting No or Ending No filled, so it has nothing to give. Preview posting still needs to grab a number for the posted Sales Invoice Header, and with no series numbers it builds that *** placeholder, then can not find the record, that is the error you see.

    Check Sales & Receivables Setup, the field for the posting series (Posted Invoice Nos.). As far as I know that one should point to a series with Default Nos. on and a real Starting No., not a manual only series. The manual series is fine for the document No. itself, but the posted one need automatic numbering.

    Also the *** prefix in preview I seen behave a bit funny in some versions, so test on a real post after you fix the series. Which version you on?

    Hope this help. 
     
    Glad to help - follow up if anything is unclear.
