"Defaulting" The Next Number

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 3,510

Hi:

I know about the Number Series window (No. Series).  

But, how to do you configure the No. Series to automatically "default" the next number, such as that of the "Document Number" field for Purchase Journals?

Thanks!

John

    Hi John 

    No series setup is a two step process 

    First as you mentioned in No. Series page that number series should selected as default and make sure do not select manual (you can do that for certain scenarios)  

    Second in each setup page you need to define the No series for each document. For example see below for Purchase & Payables.  or you can go to MFG setup or Sales & Receivables and etc.
