Transaction Numbers Available for Auto-Numbering
Some transaction types listed on the Transaction Numbers subtab of the Set Up Auto-Generated Numbers page may not be available if the related features aren't enabled in your account.
Auto-generated transaction numbers are internal, gapless, and can't be changed. They're generated for each standard and custom transaction type when you save the record.
For more information, see Auto-Generated Transaction Numbers.
In the old Transactions subtab, you could overwrite the internal number of transactions if the Allow Override box was checked for the transaction type. That could cause duplicate internal numbering in these historical transactions. In the new Transaction Numbers subtab, you can't overwrite transaction numbers, only document numbers. NetSuite doesn't renumber historical internal transaction numbers.
If the Use Deletion Reason feature is enabled in your account, users must provide a reason when deleting transaction type records. For more information, see Recording a Reason for Deleting a Transaction.
You can place letters before or after the numbers of the following transaction types:

Account-based transaction types display an additional read-only, auto-generated number in the Transaction Number field. You'll see this additional number on Check transactions, where the numbering sequence depends on a particular account. You'll also see these numbers on transactions where the numbers are used for external reference, such as Vendor Bill.
Here are the transaction types where the numbering sequences are either account-based or externally referenced:
-
Bill (Vendor Bill), Externally referenced
-
Bill Credit (Vendor Credit), Externally referenced
-
Bill Payment (Vendor Payment), Account-based
-
Check, Account-based
-
Credit Card Charge (Customer Credit Card), Externally referenced
-
Credit Card Refund (CCard Refund), Externally referenced
-
Customer Refund, Account-based
-
Paycheck, Account-based
-
Payroll Liability Check, Account-based
-
Sales Tax Payment (Tax Payment), Account-based
-
Tax Liability Cheque (Tax Liability), Account-based
The Transaction Number field is visible by default on standard NetSuite forms, but not on custom forms. You can customize a form to show this field if you want.
By default, transaction lists show only the Number field in searches and reports. If you plan to add the Transaction Number field, be aware that this value is different from the Number field for the account-based and externally referenced transaction types listed previously. For all other transaction types, the two values are the same.
If you copy an externally referenced transaction such as Vendor Bill, the reference number isn't copied to avoid duplicates.
You can't auto-generate numbers for journals if you set the Always Allow Per-line Classifications on Journals preference.
