Hi all.

I have set up the approval user setup for my purchase invoices and assigned sales/purchase codes to my users.

When they request approval, the following error pops up

Salespers./Purch. Code must have a value in Approval Entry: Entry No.=0. It cannot be zero or empty.

Can you please assist?

    Hi Wouter,

    Does the related invoice have the purchaser code set?

    Hi WouterDB!

    Dan is totally right.

    I do get the same error message as you, just if I don't specify the "Purchaser Code" (or Salesperson Code) in the invoice:

    As soon as you add this "Purchaser Code" / "SalesPerson Code" you won't get the error message and the Approval Request will be sent:

    We don't use any Salesperson/Purchaser Codes.  How do I get rid of this error?

    Change the setting in workflow. Change the "approver type" from Saleperson to workflow in "Edit - Workflow Responses - Approval of a purchase document is requested"
