Do you have customization to generate number sequence for vendor groups ? There is no set up for vendor group number sequence in standard , so this is definitely coming through custom code

Hi Dolly,

There is no standard setup for vendor group wise number sequence. Do you have any customisations involved in this? Please check in for a developer or ask the system administrator.

Warm Regards,

Zain

Actually this message is not accurate (consider it as a bug?), you'll see it as a warning when changing the number sequence of vendor account to another number sequence with different scope.

here's the code where this message pops up in validate method in vendparameters form,

if (ret && ExtendedTypeNum(VendAccount) == NumberSequenceDatatype::find(NumberSequenceReference.orig().NumberSequenceDatatype).DatatypeId)
{
RefRecId oldNumSeq = NumberSequenceReference.orig().NumberSequenceId;
RefRecId newNumSeq = NumberSequenceReference_NumberSequenceId.value();

if (NumberSequenceTable::find(oldNumSeq).NumberSequenceScope != NumberSequenceTable::find(newNumSeq).NumberSequenceScope)
{
info("@AccountsPayable:MessageUpdateNumSeqForVendAccount");
}
}

But you can just ignore it since vendor account could be using shared number sequence. Most likely the reason of not getting vendor account Id is that you don't have number sequence assigned to vendor account, or the assigned one is not correctly configured.

Hello Dolly.Lo,

Please have a look at this article that describes how to setup number sequences for customer groups out of the box.

The same should work for your vendors/vendor groups.

Hi Dolly.lo,

I received the same error message. See details on how to fix.

Do you really need shared number sequence? If not, create a number sequence that's not shared and select that instead of ARG-PR (Or remove ARG-PR, delete and create new). Then select the number sequence again and this error message won't be there.

If you don't remove it from shared, there is difference in how your vendor account number will work. On vendor page, when you try to create a new vendor, the vendor number will be greyed out. You have to select vendor group first and then enter name and when you save, it will generate a vendor number.

However if you do change to regular number sequence like below, then you will not have to first select vendor group.

Give it a try and let us know if you have any further questions.
