Deleted document

Have you ever seen an error message like this? Are you trying to delete a not posted document?

"Deleting this document will cause a gap in the number series for posted invoices. An empty posted invoice 103061 will be created to fill this gap in the number series.
Do you want to continue?"

 



Maybe you understand what it means but, what's happening?

Suppose you're trying to register a sales invoice but the system cancels the post because you haven't filled "Document external No." field.

 


 
You can think that, as the action was cancelled, nothing has changed in the document but it's not. In the header document ,"Posting No." field has been automatically filled (You can check it by clicking "About This Page" and "Table Fields" in the Role Tailored version, or by clicking Tools / Zoom in the classic version). So the invoice series has been incremented by one position.
Anyway, if you finally delete the document without posting, you can cause a gap in the number series for posted invoices and in order to avoid this, the system creates a posted invoice with the "Posting No." number. It's a posted invoice which only has one line, description equals to "Deleted document" and of course, it has not ledger or item entries.


Hope be useful,
See you soon!
