Advanced GL Numbering
Options for advanced GL numbering support the following types of requirements:
• Some countries—China, for example—require consecutive transaction numbers on financial statements. The standard internal GL numbering system uses the following method:
Year + Daybook code + 9-digit sequential number
This method does not generate consecutive numbers for GL postings.
Multiple entities may also need to share the same numbering sequence for GL postings, and users should be able to reset the GL numbering sequence.
Numbering options provided to meet these needs include:
• A second consecutive numbering sequence is available for GL posting. When organizations use this option, a separate number is stored against the transactions, in addition to the standard invoice document numbering system of year, daybook, and voucher. You can share the numbering sequence with another entity. You can also reset the numbering sequence on a yearly basis.
