The Next External Document Number category contains the next number that the Accounts Payable module will assign to an open item that is created from a standing payable. The process occurs as follows:
o The user enters information for the standing payable. At this time, the user specifies whether the external document number will be entered manually or assigned by the system.
o The user selects standing payables for open item creation. The user enters an external document number for every standing payable where it is required. For standing payables where the number does not have to be entered manually, the system assigns the next available number from this category.
Note:
o Sequence numbers are unique within a company/location/document type. Each company/location/document type will have its own record on category 228.
o This category is updated by the system each time a new number is assigned. You may change the value in this category at any time.
