GL: Can I set default value for Cheque Number

Question: Can I set a default value for Cheque Number column in A/P Payment or Cash Book Payment Voucher entry?

Version: 1.8 / 1.9 / 2.0

Answer:

The system will automatically adopt the last saved Text or running the next number if last saved value is a “number” for the Cheque No. column.

For example:

Last saved Cheque No. is a “Text”

I saved a Payment Voucher entry with the payment method ‘BANK’ and Cheque No. ‘ONLINE TRANSFER’.

When create another new Payment Voucher with the same payment method ‘BANK’, the system will automatically adopt the default Cheque No. value ‘ONLINE TRANSFER’ as shown in the figure below.

The last saved Cheque No. is a “Number”

I saved an A/P Payment entry with the payment method ‘USD BANK’ and Cheque No. ‘00001’.

When create another new AP Payment with the same payment method ‘USD BANK’, the system will automatically adopt the next cheque running number which is ‘00002’.

And the following cheque number will continue running as 00003, 00004 for the same payment method.

Remark: Automatically adopting cheque number does not work for Receipt Voucher (because it is naturally not practical), it make sense only for Payment Voucher.
