Im with ya Ken. I think it stems from habit. Back in the day when there were only paper files, if there were IDs that got skipped, it was assumed that the file was phyiscally missing.


>Spoken like a true accountant. But I think you are too harsh. Sometimes invoice numbers are related to other documents and sometimes those documents numbers are randomly generated. If your system keeps track of the invoices generated then what is the harm in having randomly generated numbers as long as they are unique? Same with check numbers. I know it drives accounts batty when they think things must be sequential but when I ask them to explain why they usually draw a blank.
