    Hi,

    Please check if the Purchase Invoice No series has Default check mark in the No series setup.

    If my answer was helpful to you, please verify it so that other users know it worked. Thank you very much

    Hi, I'm getting the same exact error while the No. Series is defined just right for purchase invoice.

    Did you managed to fix this?

    I get this error if I specify a posting date.

    [Update]
    I have figured out why I get this error if I specify a value for the Posting Date field. In my case, I believe the call is failing before the Purchase Header is assigned a No. or created. The failure seems to be happening in an event subscriber for the OnAfterValidateEvent event for the Posting Date field in the IRS Forms app that calls Modify() on the Purchase Header record before it has been inserted.
