Assigning Document Sequences by Ledger and Entry Method

You can also assign document sequences based on the ledger and/or the creation method of the document. To assign sequences by ledgers and/or entry method, you must enable the Ledger and/or Method Document Flexfield segments.

Prerequisite

To assign document sequences:

  1. Navigate to the Sequence Assignments window.

  2. Select the Application that generates the documents you want to number.

  3. Select the Category of the documents you want to number.

  4. If you are assigning document sequences by the ledger, enter the Ledger to which the document numbering applies.

  5. If you are assigning document sequences by entry method, select the creation Method of the documents:

    Automatic: Assign sequential numbers to journal entries created automatically by General Ledger. Do not assign sequences defined with a manual numbering type to an automatic creation method.

    Manual: Assign sequential numbers to journal entries you enter manually using the Enter Journals window.

  6. Enter a Start Date for the sequence assignment. Once you define a sequence assignment, you cannot change the Start Date.

  7. Enter an optional End Date.

  8. Enter a Sequence name. You can only choose document sequences that you defined for the application you specified.

    Note: You should not assign sequences defined with a manual entry method to an automatic creation method.

    You can assign only one active document sequence scheme to each unique combination of Application, Ledger, Category, and Method. However, you can assign the same document sequence to more than one combination of Application, Ledger, Category, and Method.
