Payment Journal Document Numbers differing for 2 separate users

Posted on by Community member

Hi all,

Our team uses the Suggest Vendor Payments function to create our payment journals each week. My teammate and I are using the exact same parameters when creating the journal.

My journal has the same document number JEPMT0000319 on each line of the journal.

My teammate's journal assigns JEPMT0000319 to the first line, then each additional line has the next number in sequence. Our user and permission setups are identical.

I can't figure out why hers is different from mine. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks! I did check that, and neither of us have that radio button turned on. All of our filters in that screen are identical.

the reason that this happens is that BC doesn't care the document no. as much as the other types of document such as PO. no duplicate no. could be used.

here I replicated the possible processes based on the info

user 1 run the payment batch

user 2 runs a different batch, but the document no. is the same. you could do the following to prevent or fix this.

1. set the check other batches flag to yes

2. renumber the doc number

hope it helps, follow me on linkedin for more sharing

Hi, from the standard code, this should be related to the "No. Series" of GenJnlBatch. If you use the same Batch, will there be this problem?

Thanks

Thank you, ZHU and Wang, for your responses.

What I cannot understand is why two users would have different results when creating the Payment Journal batch. We have the same permissions, the same access, and are using the same filters in creating the batch. However, one of us gets unique sequential values in the Document No field of each line, while the other has the same value in each line.

this might be caused by one user turn on New doc no. per line, the other didn't.

if you don't see the flag, click show more and you will find it.

hope it helps
