Error message "Form template code mandatory" when you try to create a pro forma invoice for the sales order, even though you have maintained the template in the system.

SAP Business Bydesign.

1. Go to Sales Order work center.
2. Search for Sales Order XYZ. (XYZ is the ID of the Sales Order.)
3. Select the Sales order and click on proforma invoice.
4. The proforma invoice is not generated.
5. You get the error message: "Form template code mandatory".

The error message 'Form template code mandatory' occurs because there are no line items in the Sales Order XYZ and the form template for the Pro forma invoice is determined based on the Tax Country determined for the Item. You cannot create a Pro forma invoice for Sales Order without Line Items.

This is the current system behavior. You will be able to create the Pro forma invoice after you add the line items.
