Changing the number series for General Journal and Cash Receipts Journal

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 390

Hello,

Last year we had to change the number series for the CR journal as it hit the maximum allowed, and we added a Prefix to correspond with the accounting year.

This year I am trying to change the prefix, we have updated the information on the number series table but the number does not populate automatically and does not stick.  After I post the transaction, it reverts to the old numbering sequence?

I have updated the starting date, so I am not sure what other setup is missing.

Any suggestions are much appreciated!

Thank you!

    Are you creating new no series or no series line ?

    If line, check your starting date.

    Hi Teddy -- thanks for responding.  I am changing the prefix on a current no series.... i.e. GJx19xxx to Gx20xxx

    Set the starting date as the first of the current month, but when I open the journal the old no series appears under the document number....

    I had no issues last year, but this year it is not working.

    Not sure what I am missing...

    Thank you!
