    The new numbers in your column could be easily added if you remove the limist lines in your excel document. Also, you need to know that if you have more than 200 customers is better to insert 222 lines in your columns coz this number is lucky and if you will read the meaning here www.sunsigns.org/.../ of 222 you will understand that I am right

    Go to "No. Series":

    2019_2D00_10_2D00_31_5F00_0840.png

    Find the number series in question and mark the box "Manual Nos":

    2019_2D00_10_2D00_31_5F00_0841_5F00_001.png

    Restart your import.

    Good Luck!

    Similar question.

    I have inherited in this case BC where the number assignment seems very restrictive.

    Notice that GJNL-PMT reached its max of G05000 on Sept 30, and the FA-JNL started at G05001.

    1.  Does this mean payments have not posted since the max was reached?  If so where are they that i can find them to post them?

    2.  Do i have to make larger ranges for all the codes and not have them start where one leaves off?

    thanks in advance for any advice.

    When you say "Expired" do you mean the number series has ended? If yes, double click on the "Ended" number and extend the series. If it say 10000 change it to 20000.

    If the numbering has expired, how to reset the new 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.

    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

    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

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