@itronics (Janusz) and I have been discussing this item this Weekend. There are some complicated sideeffects if changing it back to 2.3.
In the future, we are only going to show the reference numbers in all views and reports (not the built in numbers).
An Access-role will make it possible to see both the built-in number and the reference number.

Janusz will make a post in a while, explaining why he prefers this method.

This has now been fixed and committed to 2.4 Repo.

Thank you so much  it is working fine.

@joe / @itronics: Do we intend to revert to FA 2.3.x functionality for retaining the same transaction number? Why was it changed in FA 2.4.x?

@uurfi: Open a new topic for each issue.

ok got your point .. thank you

Janusz has explained this in a former post to this topic.

The Reference number is not the same as the # number. The # number is an internal number. Please use the Reference number as the official number. If you need an ongoing number, use default numbering template (the one with empty prefix) for this purpose.

I will fix the GL Inquiries to also show the Reference number. And I will look if there are more places that this is needed.

Kind regards.

p.s. can you advise me how add Reference number field in General Ledger Inquiry. Currently by default it is only showing;

Type    #    Date   Dimension   Person /Item  Debit  Credit   Balance   Memo

Hence the DB Record Number will change on such editing as the Audit Trail needs to keep track of it.

Dear apmuthu
In FA2.3 whenever u modify any transaction DB record number will not change at all and in audit trail you can trace the modification as well.
I am just asking if you can help us turning this function off. I mean when we modify it should not get new transaction number or (DB record number) since record is already there only need to correct something

Transaction number is internal database record number, which should not be used directly as reference. For this purpose transaction reference should be used, which is preserved ensuring journal edition. If you want to use simple numbers as journal references, you can use default numbering template (the one with empty prefix) for this purpose.

Thank you for your reply. But the software itself uses transaction number as reference while showing transaction in the GL. So when we take print of bank account or Cash account we can see only transaction numbers. Reference number will not appear in GL prints. Is there any way to show reference number in the GL accounts. Please note that in FA 2.3 version when you modify any transaction it’s transaction number never changes and any modification reflects in audit trail as well.
