Unique receipt number

Posted on by Community Member

Hello.  We are running AX2012 R2 CU7 and we are having an issue in needing a unqiue receipt number when we receive items on a purchase order.  We thought using a combination of date and customer packing slip number would be sufficient, but then we could have multiple shipments on the same date for the same PO.  A user then has to remember what the last combination used was.  We use the receipt number to tie all paperwork together.  Does anyone know if the system can generate a unique receipt number or is using the voucher number feasible?  I am not sure if the voucher number is searchable in all the grid views if we were to try and use that number.

    Hi Tara,

    At some customers in the past we created a new Number sequence reference type for generating product receipt numbers. A new option will be available then in the Procurement parameters (Number sequence tab).

    With help of x++ coding a number was drawn from the number sequence and filled in the Receipt number field.

    So with a customization it is achieveable..

    Thank you for the reply.  That makes total sense and is probably what we will end up doing then if we cannot do it without development.  Thank you for the detail!
