Setting Up System Next Numbers

Access the Set Up Next Numbers by System form.

Next Number

Enter the number that the system will assign next. The system can use next numbers for voucher numbers, invoice numbers, journal entry numbers, address numbers, and so on. You must use the next number types that are already established (and located under the Use column) unless your company provides custom programming.

Chk Dgt (check digit)

Select to specify that the system add a number to the end of each next number that is assigned. For example, if you are using check digits and the next number is 2, the system will add a check digit such as 7, making the last two numbers 27. The check digits option provides a method for increasing numbers randomly to prevent the assignment of transposed numbers. In this example, the system would never assign next number 72 with check digits activated.
