Hi Wendy1234,
Thank you for your post. I'd recommend checking your email defaults by going to the sales settings menu to see if there is any of the email default messages have the following, if they do they will need to be removed:
- Special (non alphanumeric) characters
- A space as the first character in any fields
- A space as the last character in any fields
Please click into each field and scroll right to the very end of the message to check for any spaces as the last character like you can see in the below screenshot:
Please do let me know how you go.

Hi ... i have checked and there are no characters, etc as you mentioned.
I can send emails for the new sales I have created since the upgrade but this is for sending overdue invoices where the customer has requested their overdue invoice be emailed, say back from October 2021 for example. There was no issue sending invoices before the upgrade.
thankyou
Hi Wendy1234
If the email settings are correct that error is typically caused by a selling price being entered as a negative. You'll need to edit the invoice so that the No of units is a negative and the Unit price is a positive.
Please let us know how you go.
we need the negative as it's a sponsorship discount. can I send you a private photos?
Hi Wendy1234
Entering the No of units as a negative and the Unit Price as a positive will give you a negative value. If you use the Services and items layout you can enter the discount as per this example. You could also create an item for the discount and enter the No of units as a negative.
If you need to enter a negative line using the Services layout you enter the amount as a negative:
Please let us know if you need further help.
