6.1 Voucher Numbering
Voucher numbering is one of the essential components of voucher entry. Voucher numbering provides a unique way of differentiating various vouchers and helps in knowing the sequence in which they were entered. Each company follows a different pattern for entering voucher numbers. For example, some companies append date with voucher numbers while some companies append register or page number with voucher numbers and so on. To cater to the needs of all the companies, BUSY provides configurable voucher numbering. With configurable voucher numbering, different voucher numbering pattern can be set for different voucher types and even for a single voucher type.
To configure voucher numbering for various voucher types, click Administration à Configuration à Vouchers Configuration option. On clicking the Voucher Configuration option, a Voucher Configuration window appears. On the left hand side of the Voucher Configuration window, a list of voucher types is provided. You can select the voucher type for which you want to configure the voucher numbering. On clicking the plus (+) sign next to a voucher type, a Main option appears. This is actually a default voucher series created by BUSY. You can create different voucher series for a voucher type (see topic 6.3) and can set different voucher numberings for various series created by you.
On selecting a series, various buttons get activated on the right hand side. Click Voucher Numbering button to set voucher numbering for a voucher type. On clicking the Voucher Numbering button, a
