Re: ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10:

The problem was I had records in the database from before I changed the 'their_company' field to a ForeignKey. Before it was a CharField so some of the records had actual company names in them. I deleted those records since there wasnt any real data in there anyways, just dummy data. Everything works the way its supposed to now.

Hi, thanks for the reply, however when I take out the 'their_company' field altogether everything works fine. Also in the error it references the their_company field. The entire error is  "invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'NewCor'" NewCor is a company in the contacts table. Thanks

The problem lies in this line:

For some reason last_invoice_num is an invalid value to pass to
int().  You'd have to check what that actual value is that you're
passing to the function.  The error message *should* specify what
that value is:

>>> int("x")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'x'
>>> int("")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''

but you seem to have truncated it so it's a little hard to tell from
the error message.  It's not None as that produces a different
message:

>>> int(None)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: int() argument must be a string, a bytes-like object or a
number, not 'NoneType'
