Number Sequences Problem

Hi,

I’m using AX2009, my client always encountered problem while creating a general journal. The number sequence for GL 2013 is setup as “XXXXXXXX13”, but sometimes system will appear number for “XXXXXXXX12” (GL 2012). I know how to resolved it. Need to delete all number in (Basic > Number Sequence > List). But now, I just want to know, why this problem will be happened? how to prevent it?

Hi,

No need to delete all number in (Basic > Number Sequence > List). don’t do that.

The problem with the duplicated number is available in the Table. Delete the duplicated record in the table and change you number sequence setup to continuous.

Hi Mukund,

Hi Mukund,

I think you are not understand my situation. For example, “12-0099” is batch for year 2012 and the number didn’t used before. We are in 2013, so the setup batch is for 2013 and the sample for the next number is “13-0022”. When user try to create a new batch for this year (2013), suddenly system use the number “12-0099” instead of “13-0022”. To solve it, need to delete the number “12-0099” in (Number Sequence > List). So, my question is how to come system suddenly use the number for year 2012 instead of 2013? What is the root cause and how to prevent it?
