MANUAL JOURNAL ENTRY SKIPPING NUMBERS

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I noticed that the past couple days, when I post a manual journal entry in Great Plains, it does not issue a journal entry number in the correct sequence.  For instance, the AJE #s were up to 29726 yesterday, but today I posted 2 entries that came out as 29706 and 29709.  I am worried there is a problem.  Please advise

    One thing to consider is that if you have created - but not posted - JE's then the system has allocated them and so the counter moves forward.

    If after the fact you remove the JE for any reason a hole is created in the count sequence.

    Correct me if I am thinking incorrectly, but does the system not then go back and 'reclaim' those unused JE numbers - so it looks like it is going back, when in fact, it is only picking up the missing numbers that were not used.

    It is 29726  that is the reason to try to find out what is going on, do you how I can make sure about the sequence goes right

    If you go enter a new journal entry do you get 29712? Do you have multiple people entering J/E's? If you were up to 29726 yesterday and now you are back to 29712 there may be an issue.  Every time you post anything to the ledger each transaction will get a new journal number. If you run a journal entry Smartlist  what is the highest journal entry number?
