Symptom

You are attempting to publish an invoice from your Purchases or Sales folder, but you are receiving the below error message.

The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request.

Applies To

  • SBCA/Sage Accounting South Africa

Cause

This error is caused by either of these factors:

  1. The unit quantity on any invoice line item is anything other than 1.

  2. The invoice description is greater than 100 characters.

Resolution

To clear the error you will need to check every line item's unit quantity, and ensure the description field contains no more than 100 characters.

Sage South Africa does not accept either of the above-mentioned causes for manual input either; the same error will be thrown if the values differ/exceed the limit.
