Accounting Settings

Some aspects of Accounting are controlled by custom settings. From Setup, click Develop | Custom Settings. You must be signed in with system administrator permissions to perform these tasks. See the Salesforce Help for information on how to maintain custom settings.

Validate Vendor Document Numbers

You can use the Accounting Settings custom setting to control the validation of the following fields:

  • On a payable invoice: Vendor Invoice Number
  • On a payable credit note: Vendor Credit Note Number

The default validation on these fields is to warn the user when they have entered a document number that is used on another payable document. This check is performed on:

  • All documents of the same type
  • For the same vendor account
  • For all years and periods
  • Across all companies in your organization.
Accounting Settings
Field Description
Disable Vendor Document Number Check Indicates that you want to disable this validation altogether. If selected, all validation on these fields is disabled and the associated checkbox is ignored. If deselected, the application will check for duplicates.
Duplicate Vendor Document Number Allowed Indicates that you want to allow duplicate vendor document numbers. If selected, the user is warned (in Classic View only) when a duplicate document number exists. If deselected, the document cannot be saved when a duplicate document number exists.

  • If the number of lines of the invoice documents does not exceed 200 lines then specify a default batch size of 10.
  • If the number of lines of the invoice documents is less (for instance, less than 10), then increase the batch size up to 200. This will help to minimize the consumption of Salesforce governor limits.
