Payment Journal, Doc. no. and posting date used more than once?

Business Central/NAV User Forum
1

Hi everybody,

This is my first time posting, but I have been reading Forums on Dynamicuser.net since I started the wonderful adventure of implementing NAV 2009 by myself.

I am wondering if it is okay and safe to do a multi-line, multi-currency payment journal that pays two or more vendors using no balancing account.

Line 1: Document No. 1, Bank Account 1, LCY $12,000.00

Line 2: Document No. 1, Vendor 1, FCY $8,000.00 (Exchange Rate 120)

Line 3: Document No. 1, Vendor 2, FCY $2,000.00 (Exchange Rate 120)

*** The Journal is balanced and can be posted without any problem.

The reason why I am asking this question is because when later going to the Chart of Account, then navigating to the Bank Account 1, I receive the following message:

“This combination of document number and posting date has been used more than once”

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all active members for your invaluable help.

“Navigate” allows you to find already posted transactions.

It may happen – especially with external docs – that numbers are not unique, so “Navigate” will show all transactions in search scope, but will warn you that:

It is a warning only that you should pay attention to the fact, that entries from multiple original docs are displayed.
