    The error indicates that the Payable Amount Reposting field in Source Code Setup is blank, zero, or not correctly configured, so the system blocks posting of the purchase invoice.

    To resolve it in Dynamics NAV 2009:

    1. Open Source Code Setup:
      • Go to the Source Code Setup page (typically via Departments → Administration → Application Setup → Financial Management → General Ledger → Source Code Setup).
    2. Locate the relevant source code line:
      • Find the record that corresponds to the source code used for purchase invoices (for example, the source code that is assigned to purchase journals or purchase documents in your setup).
    3. Set Payable Amount Reposting:
      • On that line, ensure the Payable Amount Reposting field has a valid value (not blank and not zero), according to the configuration rules used in the environment.
      • Save the changes.
    4. Retry posting:
      • Return to the purchase invoice and post again. With Payable Amount Reposting correctly populated, the posting should complete without this specific error.

    If the field is already set but the error persists, verify that:

    • The correct Source Code is assigned to the purchase posting setup being used.
    • No customizations or extensions are overriding Source Code Setup behavior.
