In releases before Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012, the general ledger was always related to a single voucher, regardless of the source document. Now that some subledger journal entries can be summarized when they are transferred to the general ledger, a new numbering sequence is needed for the general journal entries.
Use the Set up number sequence for upgrade form to set up the number sequence code for the legal entities.
Click Set up number sequence for upgrade in the Preprocessing upgrade checklist to open the Set up number sequence for upgrade form.
In the Company accounts field, select the set of legal entity accounts to upgrade the number sequence for.
Click Set up number sequence to open the Set up number sequence form, where you can select the number sequence code to use for the general journals, purchase agreements, and sales agreements.
Warning
To avoid performance and data issues, we strongly recommend that you right-click in the Number sequence field and select View details to set up a new, continuous number sequence for each number sequence module.
To avoid overlapping agreement numbers, you must select different number sequence codes for purchase agreements and sales agreements.
To use the same number sequence code for all sets of legal entity accounts, click Apply to remaining companies. Otherwise, repeat steps 2 and 3 until you have selected a number sequence code for all sets of legal entity accounts.
