3655840 - Bank Statement Voided and Cannot be Recreated due to Sequence Continuation

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

  1. Access the Liquidity Management work center.
  2. Navigate to the Bank Statements view.
  3. 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).
  4. Observe that Bank Statement XYZ is voided and cannot be recreated.
  5. 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

  1. Mark the Bank Statements with the status "In preparation" for Bank Account ID ABC and Company ID DEF via pressing the shift button.
  2. Reject the selected Bank Statements using the actions wheel.
  3. Mark the Bank Statements which are now in the status "voided" again by pressing the shift button.
  4. Delete the rejected / voided Bank Statements using the actions wheel.
  5. Delete Bank Statement ID XYZ now via the actions wheel.
  6. Recreate the Bank Statements.

Now the sequence and numbering is correct and there is no voided Bank Statement.
