This is applicable for most of the documents in ByDesign.

To save supplier invoice ,you must enter at least Company cause system uses company to generate the document number as per the settings made in Business configuration Activity"Document Numbering Formats for Supplier Invoicing"
also in Business configuration Activity ,if you set "Year suffix selection date" either as document date or posting date, then you must enter Invoice date or Posting date respectively in the invoice.
