Error on purchase order preview:”report selection is empty “ for one entity only

Posted on by 4
Hi everyone,
 
I’m encountering an issue when trying to preview a Purchase Order in one of our entities in Business Central. The error message reads: “Report selection is empty.” I’ve set up the report selection with the same report format across multiple entities, and it works fine for all except this particular entity.
Here’s what I’ve tried:
Verified that the same report setup is configured in the Report Selection - Purchase window across all entities.
Re-uploaded the report format to ensure consistency.
Despite this, only this one entity is presenting the error. Could there be any other settings or configurations specific to an entity that could be causing this?

    You can also set up the report ID and layout for each vendor in the vendor card, so perhaps you have an issue there. This is done in the Vendor -> Document Layouts Page.

    Did you check if the company is populated correctly and run report to test it?
