Enter Sequences

Click or press F4 (for the Payment screen only, you can click the lookup icon next to the Sequence box) to display the type of sequences associated with the transaction entry screen. For example, in the Payment screen, the sequence is for the Check Number box or in the Receipts screen the sequence is for the Receipt or Invoice Number box.

From the list of sequences, select the sequence that contains the next number that you want to display in the data entry box. The next sequence number will display.

If the list of sequences that displays does not contain any sequences, right-click, select New, and create a sequence for the data entry box. For more information, see the Maintaining Check Numbers and Invoice Numbers topic.

If you want to change the sequence number that displays, you can either type over the sequence number to change the next available sequence number, or right-click, select Edit, and then perform the Change a Sequence procedure.

When determining whether or not a sequence is a duplicate in a transaction, CenterPoint checks posted, deleted, and voided transactions only, edited and reversed transactions are ignored. Messages will display when duplicate sequence numbers are found based on the Duplicates and the Check When fields in Setup > General > Numbering Sequence. The messages inform you if a duplicate sequence number was found and how the duplicate sequence number should be replaced with a new sequence number, automatically or manually.
