Dear All,

I encountered the following error when attempting to post an invoice proposal: The format cannot contain the specified interval

I checked the setup for the number sequence in project management parameters and found the following:

Additionally, I also checked the setup of invoice proposal number sequence ProjInvPro and found the same error as well.

Furthermore, the last document that was generated before the error occurred was successfully processed and was in the following format:

and this happened to some number sequence like ProjId

Could you kindly assist in resolving this issue? Please let me know if further information is required from my side

Regards, Kreatif

I do not recognize the "~y" that is contained in your number sequence definition? is that an out of the box or a customization that was created to help include the year as part of the number sequence?

As an initial test, can you remove the "~y" and see if you still get an error message? that will have us eliminate the option that this unique feature (?) is at fault.

Hai ZvikaR,

You're right, after ~y was removed, the error disappeared.

Could you please let me know which symbol I should use for the yearly setup?

Thanks
