#398 Document No / "." in Expense Report

No
Hello,
if we enter expense reports it is needed to delete the . in
the expense report before saving, so that it gets the
correct Document No. Is there a better solution avoiding
this removing of the . ? I have tried to remove it from the
default value, but then I will never get a document no.

Yves,

period in it? What error messageare you getting? What field
are you trying to remove the default value for.
Thanks

The Period is in the Document No. It only gets a default
number if the . is removed before first save.

Yves,
I cannot replicate it. I seet he period in the doc number (I'll
ask Jorg why it is there) but I just leave it alone, select a BP
and enter a desc or leave it balnk. When I select Save the
period is removed and the document number (properly
incremented) appears.
What happens to you if you do not try to delete the period
and just save the document as I have done?

Okay for us it seems to be a multi user and temporary
problem.
If two or more users create a new expense report and then
press save, only one of them seems to get a number... If now
they will create lines without getting a number sometimes
they use the same report which results in not correctly
assigned records.
This seems to be a problem if a user creates a new record
without saving, changing fields and save for example after 10
or 15 minutes. Within this time another user has also created
a new one on his workstation.
As said it not happens everytime, but maybe this helps you
or joerg to reproduce this error...

The . is basically the same as <number> - an indicator, that
the ID/Document No should be ignored and retreived from the
sequence.

Okay that is the explanation for the . in the doc no, but how
about the problem that two users seem to create the same
new record. and then one of them won't get a number?
