Period Trans. No. Field, G/L Register Table

This field shows the definitive transaction number assigned in the printing of the official books.

The period transaction number is the sequential transaction number that is assigned to each transaction when an accounting period ends and is the one used when printing the official journals.

To assign the "Period Transaction No.", run the option Functions, Assign Period Transaction Number. Fill in the Posting Date field, the range of dates corresponding to the accounting period for which you want to assign the period transaction number. You can repeat the process for the same accounting period if you have added new accounting entries since the last time you ran the Assign Period Transaction Number option.

Note that when the period transaction number is assigned, the first number assigned is transaction no. 2. This is because the program automatically calculates the opening transaction and assigns transaction no. 1 to it. The only exception is the first accounting period, where the opening transaction is entered via the journals and takes transaction no. 1 as its period transaction number.
