When recording cheque transactions through detail cheque accounts, Jim2 uses numeric cheque sequencing, regardless of the payment type being used. Jim2 will assume that the next cheque number being recorded is one higher than the last.
Because cheque book reissuing might see the cheque book numbering change significantly, there is a more advanced cheque number management routine. Where Jim2 detects a cheque number entry more than 10 higher or lower than the last entry, the following warning will appear:
For example, cheque sequence started at 1000. A new cheque book is issued where the numbers start at 2030. Jim2 will question the new numbering sequence for the next ten entries, then automatically switch to the new numbering sequence.
There may be times where a warning about duplicate cheque numbers will appear. This would normally be because a cheque has just been cancelled, then a payment re-entered using the same payment method. Jim2 picks up the number of the previously cancelled payment to reuse it. This is not an issue unless it is actually a cheque with a number that cannot be duplicated. Each payment type has its own numbering sequence.
