    i had to 
    Personalize the journal  - add field - extra number.

    working now

    not sure why the program did not include that field when I used the System action to create opening balance journal.

    to me this is a bug.

    thanks

    I use the Document No. field for my legacy invoice number and the External Document for the legacy PO number. If you do not have the legacy PO, external document number and Document No can be the same valu.e

    Hi, The warning says External Document No., not Document No..

    Please confirm that there is a value in the field below.

    Hi!

    In your screenshot #1, you are showing a JE with  'Document Number' - THIS Document Number is specifically for BC system use and comes from the No. Series.  

    You must PULL IN with Personalize the 'External Document Number' field and fill it out for beginning AP with the AP Document Number.  So the field you need is not showing by default on your screen and you'll have to drag it in to fill it out.
