Hi, 
 
When we try to send an email from a purchase order we get this error massage: 
 
 
If I look at the lead time calculation it looks correct, even if I change language: 

 
 
 
Has anyone else got this error massage? What might be wrong? And what can I do to fix it?

    Hi,
     
    I am not sure it's a localization or what.
     
    The valid character that you can input in DateForumla is - D, WD, W, M Q or Y.
     
    Where - 
    • D - Days
    • W - Weeks
    • M - Month
    • Q - Quater
    • CW - Current Weeke
     
    Regards,
    Saurav Dhyani

    Hi, as Saurav mentioned, "V" letter is not allowed in the standard environment.
     
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.

    I believe you don't need Lead Time Calculation when sending a standard purchase order email. Is this a customisation on the layout?
    if yes, there could be an issue with the way the DateFormula is handled on the customisation.
