Friends,

We use the check books in Payable and Bank Transactions Module while preparing the payments. At the time of filing the documents, my colleague found that GPD had created Duplicate Check number for the same cheque book. But, it happened for a short period (1st week of Feb'08) and now it is not.

We have contacted Microsoft and enquired about it.They replied as " Assessment:
I have looked this up, and currently this is how the system is designed to work. You may use duplicate check numbers, and the system will not consider this an error. The only area where you can control this is for Payables Management, and this is through unmarking the option in the Checkbook Maintenance window for duplicate check numbers. However this is only for the Payables Module and does not affect checks entered in Bank Transaction Entry window.

Plan:
Right now though you may opt to log this as a product suggestion, this is to make our development team be aware of the feature that you are looking for. You may log a product suggestion through the link below".

But I found the above is illogical. The Cheque number should not be duplicated as per International Accounting Standard. We are safe as we are not printing the cheques from GPD, or else it will make a big legal problem with Payee and bank.

I am sure, my expertise friends (you)will have some ideas to solve this issue.

Looking to join with your views/ideas to move forward. Thanks
