There might be several reasons. Check if the numbering had reached its last number; also, check if it has not expired. It depends on how you setup this particular number series.

Check this: msdn.microsoft.com/.../hh168640(v=nav.90).aspx

Number of series generally describe the sequence of numbers, assigned for incrementally numbering of something (cards, documents) in the system.

Each number of series is connected with one or more number of series lines (it is actually the rule for describing the numerical sequence). E.g., for posted sales invoices you need to reset the sequence number in the beginning of each year; you can create several number of series lines, one for each year, and assign different date range for each of them; all of them will be bounded to posted sales invoices, but depending on the posting date, system would automatically select needed sequence.

No. Series is used in Navision to assign numbers to the master records or documents and it is handled through the setup, so it will make sure it will have unique number.

You can setup itn in No. Series setup and select CONT navigate to Lines and make sure you have setup there, check starting date, starting no. ... other fields are setup. Easy way is compare it with other number series you already have.

If you are using a number series for Customers then you may not need to import any values for this column.

Hi,

When I generate a check run and pay a vendor by EFT is there a way NAV can assign it something than the check number (it's giving it a number but I would like it to be something different so that it stands out as EFT) hope that makes sense!

Thanks

Hi Suresh, I'm trying to assign an EFT payment a different type of number than the check number so It stands out as EFT, is there a way to assign it a different number than a check sequence number

Go to no. series list page and search for CONT code. In the CONT code tick the field Manual Nos. to true and import your excel file again.
