Creator -> CRM Deals

Creator -> CRM Deals

I have a form that creates an invoice, on the creation of this invoice I want to push data to CRM "potentials"  I wrote the following code. (FYI, to debug I entered in the ACTUAL record ID for that field.  but still seems to give me a 4401 error.

some pretext
  1. the date is in MM/dd/yyyy in both CRM & Creator
  2. attached is an image of the CRM module with * showing the required fields
  3. line 10 is a picklist, this is def not the issue as I can replicate this in other modules with no problems
  4. line 6,7,8 pushes the actual record ID for a look up. again never an issue doing this as I can do it in other modules without issue.
  5. error is 
    1. "{"code":"4401","message":"Unable to populate data, please check if mandatory value is entered correctly."}

  1. //create map to push deal to CRM
  2.       dealPUSH = Map();
  3. //puts info into MAP
  4.       dealPUSH.put("Deals Name",input.Contract_Name);
  5.       dealPUSH.put("Contact Name_ID","2262025000000228807");
  6.       dealPUSH.put("Account Name_ID","2262025000000201051");
  7.       dealPUSH.put("Deals Owner_ID","2262025000000109005");
  8.       dealPUSH.put("Closing Date",input.Delivery_Date);
  9.       dealPUSH.put("Stage",input.Order_Status);
  10. //deal response from CRM
  11.       crmResp = zoho.crm.create("Potentials",dealPUSH);
