Renumbering the posted Entries in a GL

Hi Hayan,

in short: no. Normally there is no need to, either.

It should be paranoid goverment if tax authority analyze general ledger entries .
May be sorting by posting date will be suitable for you.

Hi Hayan,

I thought a little about the issue and... well, no. It would be most impractical to restrict posting by date. Accounting simply doesn't work this way. It is normal procedure to post within the allowed period, that would be the posting date, as "effective date of the transaction". This doesn't mean anything about *when* you post this transaction. This is recorded in the G/L register, and they are indeed sorted by entry no (of the register) and by creation date of the posting. Within the G/L register, the G/L entry numbers are consecutive, also by creation date and entry no. But, the creation date of a posting isn't recorded in the G/L entry. Since this can be an interesting information, we have changed our system to record it in all ledger entries, too. This can also be done to an existing system and completed from the registers. So, the requirement can be met and the information is already there.

with best regards

Jens
