Unique References

  1. Click the Unique References tab in the Journal Types (JNT) dialog.
  2. Specify this information:
    Unique References

    Use this option to determine how transaction references are validated for this journal type, as follows:

    • Unique Ref Not Required - Duplicate transaction references are allowed in any account for transactions posted with this journal type.
    • Unique Ref Is Required - Every transaction line for this journal type should have a reference that has not been used on any other transactions posted to the same account (depending on its account type); however, you are able to override and enter duplicate references. The validation is performed for each account type you select below on this tab.
    • Unique Ref Is Mandatory - Every transaction line for this journal type must have a reference that has not been used on any other transactions posted to the same account (depending on its account type). The validation is performed for each account type you select below on this tab.

    If the Unique References option is set to Unique Ref Is Required or Unique Ref Is Mandatory, you must select one or more account types for which the transaction references are validated to ensure they are unique for each account. You can select any combination of the following options:

    Unique Reference Balance Sheet

    Set this option to validate that the transaction reference is unique for each Balance Sheet account when this journal type is used.
