Symptom
- Bank Statement XYZ is voided and cannot be recreated (where XYZ is the Bank Statement ID).
- When attempting to create a new Bank Statement, the sequence continues instead of overwriting the voided Bank Statement number (e.g. sequence continues to 120 when voided Bank Statement was 100).
- A warning message appears: "Previous Bank Statement XYZ does not exist or not posted yet."
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Access the Liquidity Management work center.
- Navigate to the Bank Statements view.
- Apply advanced filters for Bank Account ID ABC and Company ID DEF (where ABC is the Bank Account ID and DEF is the Company ID).
- Observe that Bank Statement XYZ is voided and cannot be recreated.
- Attempt to create a new Bank Statement; the sequence continues instead of overwriting the voided Bank Statement number.
Verify the appearance of the warning message when trying to overwrite the voided Bank Statement number: "Previous Bank Statement XYZ does not exist or not posted yet."
Cause
Voided bank statements cannot be recreated due to the continuation of the sequence numbering and gap-free numbering rules.
Resolution
- Mark the Bank Statements with the status "In preparation" for Bank Account ID ABC and Company ID DEF via pressing the shift button.
- Reject the selected Bank Statements using the actions wheel.
- Mark the Bank Statements which are now in the status "voided" again by pressing the shift button.
- Delete the rejected / voided Bank Statements using the actions wheel.
- Delete Bank Statement ID XYZ now via the actions wheel.
- Recreate the Bank Statements.
Now the sequence and numbering is correct and there is no voided Bank Statement.
