Posted on by Sony Boy

Hi guys,

I have a problem in my MS Dynamics AX 2012. I am trying to post in Accounts Payable Journal / Vendor invoices / Pending vendor invoices. After I click the "Post" button this error will appear: "Number 10000 does not match format 0000-A###". I already check the number sequence because the transaction involve Purchase Order (PO) with a format and no. of PO-0000-A000001362. Please see the sample screenshot below.

I have the same question (0)

Hello,

have you tried to debug this, as mentioned in the error system is generating '10000' as the next invoice number while it does not match with the defined number sequence. Is this issue coming in production?

Hi Harry,

Thank you for your response. I haven't try to debug it yet may I know where I can specifically see this and resolve the error. Do I need to update the number sequence or any idea where I can visit the root cause of the error. Thank you!

the max number is 9999( ####) and it looks like you hit 10000

YOu can try to see what the next number is for this number sequence, in case all numbers are consumed you may need to change the number sequence.

Hi Sony Boy,

You compared the number 10000 with the pattern of the PO number sequence. The number 10000 might be taken from another number sequence (e.g. a voucher number) where there is a reserved space for 4 numbers only; not 5. Like mentioned above, you hit the maximum of the segment set on a number sequence, but not the PO numbering.

Hi Deepak,

I found the number sequence who have an error but when I try to update the number sequence there was an error occurred.

Error states that: "One or more references using the current number sequence are not sufficiently long to contain numbers from this number sequence"

Hi Andre,

Thanks for this, I found the number sequence who have an error but when trying to update the sequence code there was an error occurred stating that: "One or more references using the current number sequence are not sufficiently long to contain numbers from this number sequence" what would be the best action for this?

Thank you!

The size of the EDT you use the number series is not enough for the change you made.

There are 3 possibilities in front of you.

1. Increase the size of the EDT.

2. Make changes to the format

3.Connect to a new number sequence
