New to NetSuite | "Allow Override" Checkbox is Greyed Out in Auto-Generated Numbers Settings
Scenario:
The user wants to update the Document Number (Entry No.) field on a journal entry, which requires enabling the Allow Override preference in the Auto-Generated Numbers settings. However, they encounter an issue when attempting to enable this preference, the checkbox is greyed out and cannot be marked.
Explanation:
The Allow Override checkbox is greyed out primarily because the Advanced Numbering feature is enabled. By design, enabling Advanced Numbering automatically disables the Allow Override option, preventing manual changes to document numbers for transactions governed by Advanced Numbering rules. These rules take precedence and are applied by default to relevant transaction records.
