Payment Journal Issue

Posted on by 18
I'm trying to complete an Outstanding Vendor Invoice using the 'Create Payment' and 'Computer Check' methods. I've previewed and done the print check phases, but when it comes time for me to post the check, I'm greeted with this error:
 
Error: You have one or more documents that must be posted before you post document no. 2 according to your company's No. Series setup.
 
My attempts in the Check Ledger Entries are all voided and the Last Check No. field on my bank account isn't a dropdown for me to select the number series I've created for it.

    Hi, thanks for the suggestions. I've tried but still no luck. Upon checking the bank account, I'm seeing that the no. series that I manually entered is incrementing, but there are no jobs in the job queue or in the scheduled tasks section. The series I created doesn't seem to be in sync to what's actually on the bank account, so I'm not sure where to find those payments it says that are scheduled to be processed.

    Hi, Sorry I'm not sure, you can try to manually update Last No. Used to CHQ-000001 to see if this solves the problem.
     
    Thanks

    Hi Yun. thanks for responding. I've tried the suggestions but to no avail. On the bank account, I've placed the number series CHQ-000001 in the Last Check No. and tried posting the check again, but then the document number on the journal updated to CHQ-000002 and I got that error message below.

    Hi, It looks like you have to use the number CHQ-000001.
     
    In addition, if you don't need completely consecutive numbers, you can disable the following option
     
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.
