Deleting a vendor row in payment journal

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 30

I hope I am now in the correct forum. So, I apologize if I am not for the second time. But I believe since forum says pastedimage1674154080946v1.png that I am in the correct spot

Please help. So, I was int he payment journal doing a check run and initially had a check set up for one of our vendors and the document number WAS 38.

When I noticed I had made a mistake with document 38 I clicked on the three little vertical dots in between posting date and document date and clicked on the delete line. Now in between #37 and #39 there is no 38. So it didn't renumber them which I thought that it might. Didn't happen. Now my number go 1-37 and 39 to 84. I have been trying to figure this out and correct me if I am wrong from what I understand the doc numbers only matter much when you have workflows set up and we don't. Again please correct me if I am wrong. 

I noticed after cruising through the payment journal that under    ACTIONS > FUNCTIONS (it says) > RENUMBER DOCUMENT NUMBERS.

WHAT IS MY NEXT STEP?
DO I RENUMBER IT?

DO I HAVE TO RENUBMER IT?W

WILL THIS MESS UP THE PRINTING OF MY CHECK AND NUBMER LINES INCORRECTLY.

Pleas please help me I need to get my check run done and I feel like I royally screwed this up.

    Hello 

    Option 1

    Yes you can run the function "Renumber document numbers".

    I deleted the send line and run the function and the system re-number the "Document No"

    Option 2

    Leave it as is with a gap (missing 38)- 

    Unless the document number gets printed on the check and it actually mean something e.g. the check# etc, I don't think it matters. The only thing you need to worry about is audit, if there is an audit they might see the gap in the number and ask questions. As long as you make some notes and screenshots it should be fine.

    Hi, just adding some info.

    You can modify Last No. Used as follows, which will allow you to change back to normal sorting.
