Hi SamaraM ,
thank you for your response. I am still unclear as I have always used the abbreviation of WGS and this worked fine until mid October when we moved from STP 1 to STP2. Now I have a six digit number and while I don't care so much one way or other, I do wonder what would happen if this 6 digit number were to match a cheque number I need to use?
Hi TomD
Thank you for your response. I am uncertain as to where you are seeing this 6 digit number. To give me a bit more context about the issue, could you please clarify what steps you are taking to see this number.
For example; are you looking at the transaction journal? Or somewhere else in the software?
If you could also reply attaching a screenshot of the window you are looking at, that would help me as well.

Hi SamaraM ,
I see that number when doing the payroll but also when reconciling the accounts but maybe I am not using
this info correctly.
Hi TomD
Thank you for clarifying. When you leave the Cheque No. Field with "Auto #", what that does is it just uses the last number entered on a payslip and adds +1.
So if the last pay run had the reference number of 138251 - Then it would use that number and +1, and fill in 138252.
You are welcome to type over that field with a chosen alphanumeric code like you mentioned doing previously, but be aware that if that field is not overwritten, then it will just fill in a number automatically as described above.

I have always entered WGS into this field and this was "output" into any reports later on but since moving to STP2, even if I put my WGS there, I am ending up getting the automatic reference number.
Again, as long as this does not create a conflict with a "real cheque book no", I don't really care but the process is different since we moved to STP2.
