I have a FreeBSD-12.1p10 system running postgreSQL-11.8. This is a test

This usually means that the uuid-ossp extension is not active in the database.
However, I previously installed this and psql shows that it is present:
sudo -u postgres psql --dbname=idempiere
psql (11.8)
Type "help" for help.

The owner of the idempiere database is idempiere_dbadmin and this is the user
that is attempting to generate the UUID.

What is the problem?
Per comment over at SO, have you run uuid_generate_v4()/generate_uuid().
in psql to see if it is there and works?
