I used to be able to enter "." and "/" in this field, such as
"Oct/11.remit".
but for some unknown reason, now it will only take "Oct11remit".
also, the system does not keep the setting for allowing alphanumeric in this field.
I have to keep going back into AP/edit company profile and check the setting on batch/vendor.

Please help.

UPDATE TO MY PREVIOUS POST:
I can enter "/", ".", or "," if it is receipt.
I cannot enter "/", ".", or "," if it is a payment.

Hi Michael

Pending tech support's answer, see whether in AP Company Profile, Batch/Vendor tab, that "Alphanumeric manual check numbers" is checked.

If it is, let us know what version and release date you are running for BankRec and Payables.

AP: 8.1C(100810). Could not find release date.
BR: 8.1C(110512).
above info taken from help / about.

I have to go into AP Company Profile, Batch/Vendor tab, that "Alphanumeric manual check numbers" and check the box last month due to this issue.
and this month, I have the same issue and have to check the box again.

I am pretty sure (99% sure?) that we did not change the setting in both cases.

Hi, Michael,

I'm not finding that the setting is changing in my Company Profile at all. It's the same as it was a month ago - enabled.

Yes, using the versions you are, in both AP and for BR check numbers, you are able to use letters and numbers only in alphanumeric manual check #s. You are not able to use dashes or slashes. This has been noted for R&D.

Again, yes, in AR and BR, you are able to enter a dash or a slash (along with letters and numbers) within the cash receipt #.

THANK YOU!
