Journal and voucher chronology
Accounting transaction entries in a general ledger
must be numbered in sequence.
France specifics
In France, renumbering of the entries to avoid gaps is not permitted.
How Infor meets this requirement
Accounting entries are numbered automatically, using the control number, when they are posted to the general ledger.
In the G/L Posted Transactions form, you can see the five Control Number fields, which are concatenated to provide the associated posting number:
- Journal prefix (for example, AP)
- Site (for example, France)
- Fiscal year (for example, 2020)
- Period (for example, 1)
- Increment number (for example, 1)
On the Accounting Periods form, you can trace the increment number (Last Control Num Sequence) by type of journal (Control Num Prefix) and by period.
To prevent gaps in the sequence for orders that were canceled, see the process in Canceling undelivered, non-invoiced orders in France.
