Error while trying to capture error when running posting codeunits

Hello.
In my development (I use Dynamics 365 BC Saas), I need to post sales documents, purchase, journal lines, transfer orders, etc and be able to capture the errors that occur during posting. If I call the posting codeunits as follows:
ok := PurchPost.Run(PurchaseHeader);
I get the following error: "An error occurred and the transaction is stopped".

From a one page action I call a custom codeunit that does a series of checks and updates and finally calls the posting codeunit.

Why does this error occur? Would there be any way to check if an error has occurred during registration?
I tried to use [TryFunction], but it doesn’t work very well, because if one line of the order gives error but the rest are correct, it registers all lines except the one that gives error.

Regards

Eva

Did you try the debugger?

Use RunWithCheck Instead of Run

Most standard posting codeunits (e.g., Codeunit 90 for purchases, Codeunit 80 for sales) have a RunWithCheck method that performs pre-posting validations and throws detailed errors without committing the transaction. However, if you need to actually post and catch errors post-facto, Run is still your starting point—but you’ll need to enhance error handling.

The posting codeunits handle transactions internally, so errors cause a rollback. If you need to capture errors, try using telemetry or debugging to identify the exact issue.

The codeunit.run will not throw an error as you are capturing the result, the error might be happening before this call.

Hello.
Thank you all for your answers. I try to explain a little better what I need, since none of the answers solve my problem.
I have webservices that receive information from external applications. Collect them in a custom tables, check that everything is correct, and if it is not correct I save an error message and mark the record as incorrect, and if all is correct, depending on the case, create an invoice and then post, or create a journal line and post. All this is automated with a project queue, although I can launch the process manually. The problem is that if there are any unchecked errors when the document post occurs, the project queue stops.
