Vendor Payment Journal error- Journal Batch Number resetting

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 159

Hi All

I'm hoping someone can help me. I'm getting an error when I create Vendor Payment journals. The system generates a batch number that's already been used before. I have checked the number sequence config and it's tracking the next number correctly namely 000683, however, when I create a new payment journal the next number created is 000002. I have reset the sequence, but it seems that this is not working. I have tested this error in my UAT environment and it's replicating the same error I'm getting in Live.

Another issue is when I delete this line a few times, or I have another user login to the UAT environment and test alongside me, they get the next sequence number correctly, and can generate each next number, however when they delete all the lines and try to capture a new journal they get 000002. I have tried to capture and post the journal with the 000683 journals, but the system fails and I get the same error that the record already exists...

has anyone had this error before

    Hi Ramon,

    Could you please go into Status list of the journal batch number number sequence and check if the number "000002" has status set as "Free"?

    Hi Ramon,

    When you go into the number sequence screen (for journal batch numbers), please click on the button "Status list" as highlighted below -

    This should give you a list of numbers used an unused.

    Hi Ramon,

    In addition, if you don't care about a possible gap in the journal batch numbering you can disable the continuous setting of the number sequence to prevent this issue for the future.

    Of course I can help, you can check the journal name from General ledger-> Setup-> Journal Setup-> Journal names

    Find out your journal name what you are using, and from there you will find the voucher series, check the series, that is the series generating while you are using general journal

    Ramon,

    It is setup in the Journal names form. Field name "Voucher series".
