In the following article, we will show you what causes the error "You must select a VAT rate for a non-text item".
You are creating a tax document from a purchase order using the SERVICES function - "Create sales invoice" and the system displays an error.
The error is caused by a mismatch in the "VAT country" field between the document types for purchase order and invoice.
1. Clear the field in the purchase order document type
2. Clear the field in the sales invoice document type
After completing these steps, nothing will prevent you from successfully creating a sales invoice from a purchase order without the initial error message.
