    System checks that the Document Type you provided is correct with the Amount sign. 
    It means You cannot post an Invoice, that decreases the debt to Your vendor, if You need to decrease it, You should change the Type to Credit Memo. 
    Or You can leave the Type = Blank, to make the posting on your own risk :)
     
    So to fix this error, change the sign in the amount to all those entries or change document type to Credit Memo.

    the amount is populated incorrectly in your purchase journal. 
    It should be a negative number.
