Two Users Same Batch

Dr_mjh

Hi There;

I have two users working on the same batch in the general journal window with the same no. series, those two users are getting the same document no., how can I make those users work on different document no. automatically? I know I can do it manually but I'm sure that Navision can do better than that.

Thanks for your cooperation

No, correct sollution is to have one batch for each user to prevent more problems than only document no....

Dr_mjh

Excellent, that's exactly what I did but here I have another problem. If two users enters the same journal and each by its own batch, here the document no. will be the same for both of them till one of them post the transaction then the second one will not be able to post till he manually changes its document no. and this is where I think that Navision can do better than that.

You can setup a different number series for each batch.

When you go into the Journal drill down on the batch name and you will see the no series tied to it. Just create a new no series for each batch (or just one new one if you already have one) and you won't get any more document number clashes.

Thank you JulianHarpertant for your reply but Some financial consultants said to me that it is not acceptable for sales invoices to have more than one no. series, I mean a no. series for each batch. So what should I do?

Why don't you use the "Sales Invoice" form. This would allow your invoices to have one number series, and multiple users to enter invoices.

Yes, exactly. It seems that you are using journals for things that are solved with another module. The journals are for internal documents, corrections etc.

Dr_mjh

ok, I don't have the sales module, so I has to use the journals for the sales invoices. ](*,)

Please help

Thank you for your cooperation

I see two options:

1. Continue using the journals and accept their limitations.


2. Purchase Sales Invoicing.

Nearly nobody will create something, what is solved with another module. Because it is easier to say: hay, buy this new granule and your problem is solved!

From my experiences: I never saw customer which was not using sales module...

Thanks to everyone who participated in this subject.

I had a feeling that we have to buy the sales module. I should have listened to the partner. Anyway I'm grateful for all the replies that I had.

Best Regards
