Document Numbers Aren't Changing

Hi:

In many instances of Business Central, I never see Document Numbers changing.

I notice this across all types of unposted transactions and instances. It does not matter if the No. Series has been configured to allow for moving to the next check number.

A lot of times, for example, I'll see "PMT00001" remain as the Document Number in Payment Journals -- for every check and no matter how many checks have been cut or posted previously.

Why is that?

Thanks!

John

In journals, the document number will stay the same until it is balanced to zero and then the next line gets the next number in the series.

Depehding upon how you are populating your payment journal could be the reason that the number is not progressing.

Hi Kim:

The screenshot below shows how it is set up.

For every "new" payment journal, PMT00001 "defaults in".

Do I need to place this number inside of the "Last No. Used" field, in order for the number to progress?

Thanks!

John
