When you enter a document, such as a voucher, you can assign a document number or you can let the system assign it using next numbers. The next numbers program assigns numbers to accounts, journal entries, and other documents using either or both of the following:
Standard next numbers. The system finds the next available number in the Next Numbers table (F0002) and assigns the number to the document.
Next numbers by company and fiscal year. The system assigns a unique set of next numbers for each company, fiscal year, or combination of company and fiscal year in the Next Numbers by Company/Fiscal Year table (F00021).
Setting up next numbers consists of:
Reviewing standard next numbers
Activating check digits for standard next numbers
Assigning next numbers by company and fiscal year
Topic | Description |

Changing next numbers | Do not change the next numbers after you start using the JD Edwards World systems. Changing the numbers can result in duplicates as well as the inability to locate previously added numbers. |
Changing the sequence of next numbers | Do not change the sequence of the next numbers on the form. Each next number must remain on its current line because programs use a specific line.
For example, in the General Accounting system, the next number for journal entries must be on the second line. |
