Understanding Document Sequencing

Some countries legally require that all financial transactions or documents be classified into different transaction types, and that within each transaction type, all documents be numbered sequentially. The document sequencing feature helps maintain established business practices by ensuring that the following requirements are met:

• You can create documents online or through background (batch) processing.

• When you activate the document sequencing feature, the PeopleSoft system assigns a sequence number to each document, such as an item or journal.

• You can manually enter document sequence numbers.

• The system adjusts document sequence numbering when you delete, change, or unpost a document.
