Create Document Sequence Categories and Document Sequences

You must create a standalone document sequence category to be assigned to the Receivables document sequence name that the localization document numbering setup uses. This document sequence category must not be associated with any transaction type.

This step is required to make the document sequence name available in the Create Document Numbering spreadsheet and to ensure gapless sequence numbers if the Accounting and Document Sequencing feature is enabled. Follow these steps:

1. Click Navigator, Others, Setup and Maintenance, Tasks, Search, Manage Document Sequence Categories.
2. On the Manage Document Sequence Categories page, click the New icon to define the document sequence category.
3. Ensure that these columns are set to relevant values:
   1. From the Application field, select Receivables.
   2. In the Module field, select Receivables.
   3. In the Table field, select RA_CUSTOMER_TRX_ALL
4. Click Save and Close.
5. Create the Receivables document sequence for the Create Document Numbering spreadsheet.
6. Click Navigator, Others, Setup and Maintenance, Tasks, Search, Manage Receivables Document Sequences.
7. On the Manage Receivables Document Sequences page, click the New icon to define the document sequence.
   1. Select Gapless as the sequencing mode.
   2. Enter the first number of the sequence on the Initial Value field. If you don't provide an initial value, the default initial value that will be used is 1.
8. Assign the document sequence to the document sequence category from step #1.
9. On the Assignment section, add the document sequence category.
10. Click Save.
