Hi, it seems to be a problem caused by customization. If there is "A / 0" in the code, this error will occur.

It is recommended that you contact your partner.

Thanks

Thank you for your reply YUN ZHU.

In our case this error occurs from an incorrect creation of a value entry where "ItemLedgEntryQty = 0" which led to the attempted to divide by zero message in the standard method when dividing ShareOfTotalCost := OutbndValueEntry."Valued Quantity" / ItemLedgEntryQty; of the codunit 5895 "Inventory Adjustment"

Could you help please ? Could we correct/modify the lines above ??

Please first check, if there is an extension, which has to do with posting purchase orders.

This should be checked by your it partner, who did the customizations. otherwise the code changes were maybe made by internal colleagues.

You can check extensions in page extension management.

The screenshot you sent has probably nothing to do with that.
