Hello,

Thanks for elaborating your query.

Error message indicates that “purchase approval” field was not inserted correctly as a Custom Field. To fix this issue, go to:

  1. Purchase Order List > Menu > Customize
  2. Remove “purchase approval” field from the table of fields.
  3. Update Customize Form.
  4. Reload your ERPNext account.
  5. Try creating Purchase Order from Material Request.

Hope this works for you.

@neilLasrado can you please check into this issue?
