Use Existing Receivables Document Sequences

You can transition to the localization document numbering using the document sequences for existing receivables.

Follow these steps:

1. If you are using the standard document sequence feature and want to transition to the localization document numbering feature, you must:
   1. End the existing document sequence for the relevant document sequence categories.
   2. On the Manage Document Sequences page, search for the existing document sequence you want to use in the localization document numbering setup.
   3. On the Assignment section, enter an end date to the desired document sequence category name (transaction type).
   4. Create the localization document numbering setup using the existing document sequence and document sequence category you just modified.
2. Follow the steps under Set Up Receivables Transaction Number Format. You can use the existing transaction type and document sequence name you have modified.
3. For the Start Date, enter the date that immediately follows the end date you have entered in the document sequence assignment in step #1.b.
4. If you have enabled Accounting and Document Sequencing in Specify Ledger Options, you must follow these setups to ensure gapless sequencing:

   The transaction type that you use in the localization document numbering setup must not be assigned to any active Receivables document sequences.

   The document sequence that you use in the localization document numbering setup must not have an assigned transaction type. It must only have an assigned standalone document sequence category (document sequence category not associated to a transaction type).

   When you use an existing document sequence for the localization document numbering setup, the sequence number generated will be based on the last number used in the existing document sequence.
