Hi:

In the Business Central No. Series screen, what does "Sequential" and "Normal" Implementation mean?

Even if you have the checkbox checked in the No. Series for allowing gaps in numbers, does "Sequential" still prevent Item Journals from being posted if they get out of sequence?

Thanks!

John

Hi

I hope this can help you

BCApps/src/Business Foundation/App/NoSeries/src/Single/NoSeriesImplementation.Enum.al at main · microsoft/BCApps · GitHub

Normal: Specifies the standard No. Series implementation, which updates the database on every call and uses the table to keep state

Sequence: Specifies the sequence No. Series implementation that does not update the database on every call and uses database sequences to keep state

Hi, I think this has something to do with whether Gaps are allowed.

More details: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/ui-create-number-series?wt.mc_id=DX-MVP-5004336#gaps-in-number-series

Hope this helps.

Thanks.
