Hi there, This is validation rule exception, There seems to be a filter on the lookup field, please check the that filter and add the right Accout that satisfy that filter defined on the lookup field

If need to check the filter, please go to setup and respective object and respective field and you will find the lookup filter at the field detail page.

Thank you

Hi There, yes thats all it is, The lookup filter. The only reason you are getting the error is becasue the record selected in the lookup field do not satisfy the filter criteria that's defined in the lookup filter.

Thank you
