Hello community,

How to assign a starting sequence number for accounting journals when we start using IFS in the middle of the year?

I am reading documentation and it says:

  • If the company starts using IFS Cloud in the middle of a year, the sequence number for the first transaction can be provided. (Note: This is done by the implementation team during the implementation process.)

Generate Period Information

 

I cannot find any specific field or company template detail to enter start number. Is anyone aware how is this information defined?

Thanks

 

Hi, 

When I see that comment (Note: This is done by the implementation team during the implementation process) I see this as some technical action is needed.   I this case, I believe it would represent the need for a data change.   Historically, this would be something I would hand over to a technical person within the project. Sorry, I’m not overly technical, so I do not know the SQL statement needed to set the sequence number.  

 

Best regards, 

Thomas


Hi ​@Thomas Peterson 

Thanks for your comment. Exactly I am interested in where  and how the data is changed. On general ledger level or is there a specific script that would change the start number.

Lets see if anyone knows how to do this.

Thanks

 


Hi, 

Maybe reach out to Marcel. He is technical and helpful.
