What is the purpose of the required Document No. field.

Hello! Novice BC user here - working on setting up demo environment for customer implementation and working through some challenges.

I am looking for guidance on where the required Document No. field would populate from, and what its usefulness is.

When preparing job journals from resource time sheets, this required step adds a lot of time spent for no apparent reason.

Thanks in advance!

    This is the unique number you want to give this transaction in a journal.

    It looks like you are on the job journal so would be for posting multiple job lines and as jerome77 says you can use the no series to populate this like any other document so for example the Sales orders Go SO-00010 so you can look at it and go that's a sales order.

    there is already a job journal no series you could assign or amend to how you like and it will automatically populate as a document number is required to post

    Hi

    Did you check your job journal batches and series number added?

    By setting this, it should be populated automatically

    Kind regards
