Assigning document numbers to journal lines

The Pmt. Recon. Doc. No. Assignment setting on the Bank Account Card page lets you configure how document numbers are assigned to Payment Reconciliation Journal lines per bank account.

This feature introduces a Document No. column on journal lines, allowing you to assign document numbers per line from a number series defined on the bank account. The selected document number is carried into the posted general ledger, bank account ledger, and customer, vendor, and employee entries. Bank Account Reconciliation is not affected.

You can enable the feature on the Continia Feature Management page.

To set up the bank account for document number assignment

To configure how document numbers are assigned on a bank account:

  1. Open the Bank Account Card.
  2. On the Payment Import FastTab, in the Payment Reconciliation Journal section, go to the Doc. No. Assignment field and select one of the following options:
    • (blank) - the posted document number equals the statement number. This is the standard behavior.
    • Per Line - each journal line gets its own document number from a number series.

When you select Per Line, two template series are used. Both are copied to the journal header on import and applied to each line:

  • Statement Doc. No. Series - for account statement imports (CAMT.053).
  • Payment Doc. No. Series - for transactions imports (CAMT.054).

Hinweis

The first time you select Per Line, the default shared series CBI-DOC is suggested. If Per Line is set on the bank account but no number series is assigned, the import fails.

To work with document numbers in the journal

After import, the series assigned to the bank account appears in the Document No. Series field on the Payment Reconciliation Journals list. You can change the series before or after import.

Each line in the Payment Reconciliation Journal has a Document No. column. The value is suggested from the series and can be edited per line. A parent line and its split or difference child lines always share the same document number, so editing one updates the others.

To restore a continuous sequence after deleting lines, use the Renumber Document Numbers action. The action clears all document numbers on the journal and reassigns them from the current series.

Hinweis

Document numbers from the number series are only assigned during posting. Importing, deleting, and reimporting a journal does not consume numbers.

To post and find entries

When you post the journal, the document number flows into the general ledger, bank account ledger, and customer, vendor, and employee entries.

If the Document No. field is left blank on a line, and the assigned number series allows manual numbers, the statement number is used.

Sum posting requires all lines with the same posting date to share one document number.

After posting, the document number is read-only on Bank Account Statement Lines and Posted Payment Reconciliation Lines. To locate the related Bank Account Statement and Posted Payment Reconciliation, search by document number from the Find Entries action.

If you undo or reverse a posted reconciliation, the original document number is restored on the recreated journal lines.
