Removing Leading Zero's on Posted Check #'s

Posted on by Liz Koon

We have some purchasing checks that got posted with leading zeros (6 digits rather than our normal 5 digit format) and we would like to remove them in order to get our history on a sequential order. Other than running an update query on the the PM30200 table, does anyone know if there is a better way of updating this information without touching the database on the back end?

changing this in the SQL tables is not the ideal way. There are multiple tables other than the one you have mentione (GL tables, bank rec, etc.). Are there alot of checks? If not, I would suggest voiding and re-issuing them. Changing data like this in the table can be dangerous.

Thanks Sandip, I checked the Options and it shows the next number to use. Unless I'm missing it, I did not see an option to update existing entries.

What I am looking for is if there's a way to update the check numbers that has been posted and already reside in PM30200 table within GP. I can update it in the SQL database but I just want to make sure that this is not the only way.

Thanks for your help.

Liz,

Can you please check Tools-->Setup-->Purchasing-->Payables. Click on Options and change numbers.

Thanks
