Alpha characters in check numbers for Dynamics SL

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Does anyone have any experience where a check number (in this case an EP doc type) containing an alpha character does not display in the list when the F3 key is used?  It can be entered directly without a problem. Example: 00E275 is the Electronic Payment reference number.

Thanks in advance,

Bill

    Carolyn,

    Thanks for this. They are currently on SL2011 FP1.  I checked and they currently have no outstanding EP type payments. I will try to recreate in a test environment.

    Bill,

    This is my PV from the AP check reconciliation screen.  The checks are there.  Maybe theirs are on the list also, but not where they expect them to be.  This PV is not excluding my check with the E embedded (or the period either).

    What version of SL are they using? I am in SL 2015 CU2

    Hi Carolyn,

    Thanks for getting in touch.

    To clarify my client is trying to clear the electronic payments through AP Check Reconciliation screen (03.060.000) just as they would checks. When they use F3 to display outstanding items they see all the numeric check numbers but not any check number that contains an alpha character. They can enter such checks directly - just are not able to see them in the PV list.

    Bill,

    Thank you for posting your question on the forum. Can you give a bit more detail on where you are PVing (using F3) and expecting to see a check as you mention?

    I am in my SL and I can enter a check number using the same format of 00E275. I am prompted that the number is not the next check number, but it lets me enter it. In SL, E is a numeric constant so it should behave like a decimal. So I can enter a check number of 123456, or 123.56 or 123E56, but I cannot enter a check number like 123A56 or 123X56.  

    I look forward to your update.

    Thank you,
