What transaction ID number will be assigned to the next transaction?

There is a separate numbering sequence for each type of transaction - checks, sales, purchases, transfers (funds), general journal entries, inventory transactions, cash receipts, cash disbursements, activity slips.

• For checks, sales (Sales windows) and purchases (Purchases windows). If you choose to enter a new number in the ID (Check, Invoice or Purchase) # field and then record the transaction, the next time you begin to enter a that type of transaction, the ID # will automatically increase the number you previously entered by one.
  
  Example: The Auto # was 00034; you enter 500. The next transaction will be 501. This will continue until you again change the number entered in the Invoice # field and record the transaction.

• For all other transactions -- those that have letter prefixes, like TR (money transfer) or IJ (inventory transactions), for example -- if you enter a new number and record the transaction, the next time you begin to enter the same type of transaction, the ID # will automatically return to the Auto # that was assigned in the previous transaction.
  
  Example: The Auto # was TR00034; you enter TR500. The next transaction will be TR00034.)
