Setting up transaction sequence numbering

The following steps are required to define and apply transaction sequence numbers:

  1. Create an analysis dimension to maintain the transaction sequence numbers. Analysis dimensions are created using Analysis Dimensions (AND).
    1. Assign this analysis dimension to one of ten analysis dimensions used to analyze the Ledger entity (901) in Analysis Structure (ANS).
    2. Identify this analysis dimension in the Transactions Dimension field on the Sequence Dimensions tab in Ledger Setup (LES).
  2. Define a sequence number code for each group of sequence numbers you want to assign to transactions. Sequence number codes are defined using Ledger Sequences (LEQ).
  3. Assign the transaction sequence codes to the type of transactions to be sequenced:
    • If transaction sequence numbers are required for transactions posted automatically by other posting functions, for example, Payment Run (PYR), assign the transaction sequence code to the relevant System Codes field on the Sequence Dimensions tab in Ledger Setup (LES).
    • If automatic sequence numbers are required for Ledger Entry (LEN) or Ledger Import (LIM) journals, assign a transaction sequence code for the each journal type in the Sequence Number Code field on the General tab in Journal Types (JNT).
