Journal voucher number

Posted on by QD-29120621-0

Hi everyone,
I'm facing an issue where already posted voucher numbers keep reappearing in new Vendor payment journal.

Due to strict audit requirements, I cannot use the "Number allocation at posting" feature. The voucher number must be identical on the journal report both before and after posting by audit process.
Is there any other way to fix this number sequence reuse issue without enabling "Number allocation at posting"?
Thanks!

Hi,

When a number sequence is set to Continuous, D365FO maintains a Status List of reserved numbers. Numbers get "locked" in this list when a session crashes, a browser is closed unexpectedly, a journal is deleted in draft, or a customization/import issue occurs. The "Next" value on the sequence moves forward, but the locked number sits in the status list marked as "Free" and D365FO then re-offers that already-used number to the next journal.

Clean Up the Number Sequence Status List

This is the primary fix for your current error.
Organization Administration > Number Sequences > Number Sequences

Find the number sequence tied to your Vendor Payment Journal (e.g., GJ26/JP).

Click Edit, then go to General > Cleanup.

Run Manual Cleanup → select Current records.

This ensures all number sequences on the status list are set to status Free / Action None.

After cleanup, open the Status List tab and check if the problematic voucher number (GJ26/JP/00677) appears there. If it does and the number is genuinely already posted, delete it from the status list using Alt + Delete.

Then verify the "Next" field on the number sequence is set to a value higher than your last posted voucher.

Only delete a status list record if you've confirmed the voucher is truly already posted in the ledger. Do not delete if it was never successfully posted.
Schedule Automatic Cleanup as a Batch Job

To prevent this from recurring:

You can run the cleanup process manually or automatically to recover lost numbers. It is recommended to run the cleanup as a batch job during non-peak hours.
