Do you have any customization on the vendor table or page?

Please check the No. Series setup for the Vendor and in the No. Series please check the last no. used for vendors. For ex: if it is VEN0010, search for the vendor VEN0011 in your vendor list if you find a vendor, then it means you need to manually update the No. Series Last No. used to the max. no. you have on the vendor list.

Sort on the vendor list in descending order and find the last vendor no. and update the No. Series -> Last No. used.

Check the Last used No in No series for the Vendor. (Say the last no used is VEN0010)

Check in the Vendors list, whether the next number (VEN0011) is already used for any vendor (There is possibility that someone may entered that manually)

If it is found as existing, go to No series and change the Starting No to the next unused number. (VEN0012)

Or start a new line with Starting No, (VEN0012)
