Subscription/Recurring Journal Validation Issue

Question

I'm working with a "Feuilles abo" (Subscription/Recurring Journal) page in Business Central. When I click Validate, I get the message:

"There is nothing to validate, as the journal does not contain a quantity or amount."

This is unexpected because the journal (batch "ABO TAX", template "ABO") clearly contains 142 lines, all with valid Debit/Credit amounts filled in (Account, G/L Account No., Description, Debit Amount, Credit Amount, etc. are all populated).

What I've already checked and ruled out:

• Exported all 142 lines to Excel and verified: no line has both Debit and Credit empty or zero, all amounts are numeric (not text), and total Debit = total Credit (299,729.19), so the batch is balanced.
• Line numbers are sequential with no gaps (10000, 20000, ... 1420000).
• A different journal ("IND EXT") with only 2 lines and the same structure (same fields, same "Amount Allocated DS" field at 0.00) validates without any issue.
• The "Amount Allocated DS" column shows 0.00 on every line in both journals, so that field doesn't seem to be the trigger.

What I'm trying to understand:

• Does the "Validate" action check a specific underlying field (e.g., a "Quantity" field not visible on the page layout) separate from Debit/Credit Amount, that could be empty/zero across all lines in this particular journal?
• Could this be related to a filter being applied on the page (hiding the actual lines being processed), or to no line being currently selected/active when clicking Validate?
• Could this depend on the "Subscription Mode" (Fixed) or Journal Template/Batch setup rather than the line data itself?

Any pointers on which table/field this validation is actually checking would be very helpful. Thanks in advance.I'm working with a "Feuilles abonnement" (Subscription/Recurring Journal) page in Business Central. When I click Validate, I get the message:
