Hi Renw

This can often be resolved by unticking “Warn if jobs are not assigned to all transactions” under Setup > Preferences > System. If you get the error even after unticking this preference, please try deleting the purchase order, create it again and let us know if you're then able to save it.

  Hi
  Despite ticking the preferences security checkbox the help article indicates I still received the validation exception error. I've found, through trial and error, that any value ending in 5 cents eg 29.95 will cause the error. I assume the system has trouble determining whether its rounding up or down? In any case changing it to, for example, 29.90 works.
  
  Hope it helps someone.
  
  kind regards

    Thanks Chris, you saved me a bunch of time, I've been suffering with this for a few hours. In my case changing the 5c didn't help, but when I changed all values to whole numbers, e.g. ending in .00 it worked. For reference I've never had a problem with this in the past... Hope this helps someone too.

  Hi Komal_S that is what I had previously done, however today it appears to have worked. Thank you.
