Numbering accounting entries for tracing in France
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.
