Hi gurus,

I've been doing some work in the Data management module, copying into Legal entity to be precise.

I've created a new Legal entity and now trying to copy Journal names from USMF to my new legal entity

I have run the Generate number sequence in Organisation Administration

when I click the Copy to Legal entity to copy I get the below error:

Voucher series code Alloc_01 cannot be used with sc01 company

When I view staging, only the AP invoice completed

Do i need to enable the Copy Number sequence before

trying to understand how this works

I have the same question (0)

Hi James,

Reset of a new number sequence is not required. You only have to ensure you have them before copying the journal names. In fact, it is not the same voucher series, as the primary key is based on the number sequence code and the company context. So, you can have e.g.

Alloc_01, USMF

Alloc_01, USSI

Alloc_01, DEMF

etcetera.

The only drawback is that the list of number sequences might initial look like you have duplicates, but that is explained by having the company context. When you have a lot of legal entities, finding the correct number sequence code per legal entity might be a bit more challenging, but with an extension, you can add a display method to show the company field. That is what we did at an implementation with over 1000 legal entities.

Hi Rahul - I'm still fairly new to migrating data using 'copy to Legal entities'

What you've described here sounds like a best practice going forward

when you say 'resetting number sequences and assigning company prefix during import is recommended'

could you please explain with detailed steps.

These are the steps I followed to get it to work

Create new Legal entity

Go to Data Management - set data source as USMF, Existing as my new legal entity

Enable copy numbers (2 entities can now be run

Run the legal to legal entity - This was successful

Then added the Journal names entity and ran that too

and these steps successfully copies all Journal names from USMF to new LE

What are the drawbacks of having the same voucher series for both Legal entities

Hi James,

Manually create those number sequences with the same name as original legal entity.

Or copy number sequence from original legal entity before copying journal name.

Hello James T,

Journals usually have own and new number sequences that are not automatically created with the wizard in the OrgAdmin module.

You would have to create them before you can import/copy the journal names.

Best regards,

Ludwig
