You need to change date for row 1 in Purchase Order Item table , the date should be after document transaction date.

3

If I have to manually change the date then what is the point of auto repeat? Auto Repeat function is supposed to recreate the transaction unattended.

4

I would suggest you to use re-order functionality under Item docType for auto repeat of PO of such items.

However, you keep in mind that repeat document will remain in draft mode and it needs to be submitted manually.

It’s not an stock item, it is a service service so it is not a stock item and thus reorder cannot apply. Also note that the Purchase Order has approval workflow attached to it.
