How do I find a Sales/Purchase Ledger Number?

Summary

Every accounting transaction posted in Platinum is allocated an internal reference number called a ledger number. These are allocated in the order that the transactions are recorded. There are separate sets of numbers for Sales, Purchase and Nominal Ledgers. They are particularly useful in the Purchase Ledger, where they can be used as a filing reference.
