The error you’re facing, Account is Required, usually appears if there's a missing configuration in the General Ledger (GL) or Sales Invoice setup. This could occur because:

Missing Account Link: The Sales Invoice might lack a specific account configuration, especially if handling GST/state-wise accounts.

Internal Customer and Interstate Tax Handling: Since this involves an internal customer with a different GST state, ERPNext could be failing to auto-assign an account for tax purposes.

Check Account Settings: Verify that the accounts for both GST states (Maharashtra and Delhi) are configured correctly in ERPNext.

Configure Inter-State Transactions: Ensure that inter-state transactions for internal customers are set up, and relevant tax accounts are linked.
