Changing the default current values for Auto – Generated Numbers

Sometimes users may find the necessity of changing the default current values for the Auto-Generated numbers on transactions.

Steps to make changes to the Default values:

• Allow Override is unmarked.
• Initial Number for a transaction is changed in Setup > Company > Auto Generated Numbers. Once a transaction is entered, Current Number then becomes the Initial Number set. (e.g. SO10)
• Therefore, if transaction numbers prior to the change are chronologically numbered as SO1 and SO2, the new sequence now looks like SO1, SO2, and SO10 if a new transaction is entered.

To correct the sequencing, perform the following:

• Navigate to Setup > Company > Auto Generated Numbers.
• Mark Allow Override checkbox for the related transaction and remove the Initial Number specified.
• Click Save.
• View the sales order or the related transaction with the incorrect transaction number. (e.g. SO10)
• Edit the transaction and specify the correct transaction number. (e.g. SO3)
• Click Save.

Through the above process the transaction number is now following the original correct sequence. The Current Number in the Auto Generated Numbers table will now reflect the correct transaction number based on the above change.
