Control Number Prefix

The control number prefix is a tracking identifier for a journal.

For General and user-defined journals on the Journals form, enter the prefix. The System journals already have control number prefixes assigned to them.

On the A/L Posted Transactions, G/L Posted Transactions, and Journal Entries forms, the control number prefix displays as the first part of the Control Number.

You may update the control number prefix for General and user-defined journals on the Journal Entries form. If you create a new control number prefix, a new accounting period control number sequence is also generated.
