thmmm..  I dont think this is due to lack of parts being defined.

Try this:

select max(id) from parts;
select max(id) from ap;
select max(id) from ar;
select max(id) from gl;

After this, we can try to set it to a suitably high value.

This should only happen if parts are actually in the db and an id
number conflicts, so the question is why.

Also the id is a kind of central sequence so it is good to do  some
exploring before setting it.
