Scale Ticket Number Sequences

The Levridge 2024 Release 2.0 brings a significant update making it easier and faster to configure  scale ticket number sequences.  

Prior Levridge Releases

In releases prior to Levridge 2024 Release 2.0, the scale ticket number sequence setup (Commodity accounting > Setup > Commodity accounting parameters > Scale ticket branch number sequences) required configuration for each branch and ticket type (even if you marked to exclude ticket types). Users had to individually configure each branch and ticket type combination, even if specific ticket types were marked as excluded.

Upgrade to Levridge Commodity Accounting Release 2.0

The 2024 R2 release brings a significant update that streamlines this process, making it easier and faster to configure scale ticket number sequences. With this update, you no longer need to set up individual branch and ticket type combinations. If a branch uses the same number sequence for all ticket types, you can now simply mark the branch as “Exclude ticket type” and select the reference. Alternatively, if all branches within a legal entity use the same number sequence, there is no need to configure anything under the scale ticket branch number sequences.

Or if all of the branches in a legal entity use the same number sequence for tickets, it is not required to configure anything in Scale ticket branch number sequences. The number sequence that will be used for all branches and ticket types will come from Ag sales > Setup > Agriculture parameters > Number sequences as the ‘Ticket number’ reference. This will help speed up implementation and adding new branches to a legal entity.

Upon upgrade to 2024 Release 2.0, the Scale ticket branch number sequences configuration (Commodity accounting > Setup > Commodity accounting parameters) will show what appears to be duplicate records since it is hiding the ticket type value if the ‘Exclude ticket type’ is marked:  

Notice the branches ART, BAR, CRK, and FER all have the ticket type excluded and use the same number sequence. If you compare this to before the upgrade, you will see there was 4 rows for each branch to designate each ticket type. You will be able to clean up the parameters to have only 1 line per branch if they use the same number sequence, as shown below:

If all the records in scale ticket branch number sequences use the exact same number sequence, make sure the ‘Ticket number’ number sequence in Ag sales parameters (Ag sales > Setup > Agriculture parameters > Number sequences) has the correct reference to number sequence, then you could remove all of the scale ticket branch number sequence records from the Commodity accounting.

There is no harm in leaving the records after upgrade if you do not want to make adjustments to the records. This update is a significant time-saver for users and will particularly benefit those managing multiple branches or legal entities.
