Additional GL Numbering Tab
Additional GL Numbering lets you generate a secondary numbering sequence for GL transactions. This is an alternative reference number for use in countries where local GAAP constraints require that GL posting numbering be sequential, without any gaps. The sequence number of a transaction appears in statutory transaction reports.
When Additional GL Numbering is enabled for an entity, you can specify another active entity from the same domain as the source entity for the additional GL numbering. Additional GL Numbering must be enabled in the source entity, and the numbering sequences from the source entity are then used as the numbering source for the GL postings in the current entity.
• If the additional GL numbering for an entity is generated based on numbering settings in another source entity, you can only specify the reset yearly setting in the source entity.
• The dependent entity cannot itself be the source entity for additional GL numbering in another entity. For example, if entities A, B, and C belong to the same domain, and A is the source numbering entity for entity B, then B cannot be the source numbering entity for any other entities. However, A can simultaneously be the source entity for multiple entities, such as B and C in this example.
Entity Numbering Groups
When you enable the Additional GL Numbering feature, the system generates a sequence number for any GL posting in the official layer. The sequence number has the following format:
• It has 9 digits starting from 000000001.
• The number increments by 1 per posting. For example, if the current posting is numbered 000000005, the next posted transaction will be numbered 000000006.
You specify the starting sequence number in Record Number Maintain.

Field Descriptions
Additional GL Numbering
Indicate whether you want to enable additional GL numbering.
When postings have been generated with additional GL numbers, you cannot subsequently disable additional GL numbering for that entity.
Reset Number Yearly
Select this field to have the GL numbering sequence automatically reset at the beginning of each fiscal year.
Source Numbering Entity
Optionally, specify another entity to use its GL numbering sequence. You can specify an entity only when:
• Additional GL numbering is also enabled for that entity.
• That entity is not sharing its GL numbering sequence with another entity.
With this feature, a legal entity that consists of two or more entities in the system can use the same numbering sequence.
