Trouble with General Journal Batch Posting: Numbering Sequence Issue

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 8
Hello,
 
I am capturing General Journal Batches simultaneously, with the same No. Series, I do this in company 1 and company 2.
 
I however have an issue with this in company 2
For e.g.
Batch A's last number is 123, and Batch B's last number is 123
 
Both Batches are sent out for approval  - after approval Batch A is successfully posted
When I try to post Batch B - it fails
This however works in company 1, because the number of the batch that gets posted second, rolls over to the next number in the numbering sequence
 
Not sure why this is happening - since both setups are the same, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello,
     
    If you run 'Renumber Document Numbers' after approval, you must send it for approval again.
     
    You might be using 'Posting No. Series' on Company 1 and 'No. Series' on Company 2. Can you check on it?

    This keeps happening, because the same number serie is used for both batches, and they are being filled/processed simultaniously. 
     
    The easy solution for this would be to press the "Renumber Document Numbers" button from the Actions. This should be done before sending to approval, but I think it can also be done after approval.
     
     
    To understand the logic why this is happening, try to create 1 line in each batch and post, and then create again 2 or 3 lines... You will see that the numbers get used twice.
