Payment Journal Document Numbers differing for 2 separate users
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
