    Option Description
    Companies or Company Hierarchies
    For company hierarchies, Workday only generates journal sequence numbers for the companies within the hierarchy that you've enabled journal sequencing for.
    Replace Unused Generators
    Select to have Workday replace the existing sequence ID generators for ledger years that haven’t used sequence ID generators. Workday then creates a new sequence ID generator.
    You can't replace a sequence ID generator that is or was in use.
    Create Continuous Sequence Generator
    Select to create or replace a continuous sequence generator. You can replace a continuous sequence generator if the ledger periods or ledger years:
    • Aren't open.
    • Don't have a posted journal.
Workday uses the sequence ID generators to assign sequences to journals based on the configured sequencing rules.
Process accounting journals and create operational journals.
