Posted on by Community Member

Hi everyone,

could you please help with the following question regarding number sequences:

is it possible to set up the number sequence for Travel&Expense module in such a way, that the expense report number will be reused for the expense voucher on my vendor?

Currently there are used two different number sequences, i.e. when I post a travel expense report – then Expense report number is used; and for the posting on Employee-Vendor there is another Voucher number sequence.

I cannot also add a voucher- reference to the Travel and expense number sequence or activate the checkbox „Reuse number“.

I wonder, if you use two different number sequences for that or have you found some solution?

thanks a lot!

Hi Jolyon,

AX uses different number sequences for Expense report and Voucher.

You can add 1 number sequence to do different places (references) but it will not automatically select the expense report number on the voucher transactions because the serial number used for expense report number will not be used when voucher will be generated.

I understand there can a business requirement to track the expense report number by simply looking at the voucher, but this unfortunately is not possible. A good workaround will be to add the expense report number on the description of the voucher.

Further, there is always the transactions audit trail available in the system.

The reason why you are not able to add reference or edit the number sequence is perhaps due to some security role settings.

RE: Setup of number sequence (Travel & Expense)?

I have one more question regarding Setup of T&E Module (Setup-->Expense Categories):

Normally for the expense category "Hotel" i have two fields for item sales tax Group: main and alternative.

It is true in all legal entities except one LE, and I cannot understand, why I have in this LE only one field for item sales tax Group.

The Setup Parameters in Travel&Expense Module is the same in all LE's.

Do yiu have any idea, what Parameters i should check and what could be a reason?

thanks a lot!
