Hi Community,

I'm trying to post a invoice and encounter this error msg. Anyone can advise how to resolve this?

At my General Journal Template there is no Line no=0 that I can see.

Thank you!

Usually that is because you have used a document type that only are allowed for a specific negative or positive amount.

You could try to clear the document type for all the lines in your journal or check line by line if you can see where the breach in logic is between document type and amount being negative or positive.

Hi, Using debugging is the fastest way to identify problems.

And some test in Business Central:
