Will change to PO next number sequence cause issues with other areas of Dynamics GP?

Posted on by Community Member

Currently the PO number setup in our system is PO Number = R0000000000#### and the Receipt number = RCT000000#####.  The accounting manager would like to change these numbers so that the PO number sequence would be R#####, and the Receipt number would be RCT#####. Besides the obvious reporting and inquiry issues (getting data before and after the change), what other possible conflicts might this cause? Would there be conflicts within the GL? Would there be conflicts if the same number exists in the Sales Module?

    Hi Sue,

    I know of no conflicts that this would cause. None of the items you mentioned should cause conflicts.

    Kind regards,

    Leslie

    I agree with Leslie.   They will still be unique numbers in the system so there shold be no conflicts or ramifications.  The documents may sort differently in lookups, but should not cause any issues.

    Hello Sue,

    The only issue I see is that with no leading zeroes you will someday come to a max number such as RCT99999 and then when you try to create a new receipt the system will give you an error saying "A document number could not be found." This is why we recommend having leading zeroes for next numbers.

    You can however just wait until the day you receive the error and then go into the setup and add a leading zero to the next number. Other than that I see no other issues.

    If your questions have not been answered please update this post.

    Best regards,
