Shows the external document number for this entry.

The program fills in the field in one of the following ways:

If the entry was posted from a journal line, the number is copied from the External Document No. field on the journal line.

If the entry was posted from a sales or purchase order, invoice or credit memo, the number can be copied from the Vendor Invoice No. or the Vendor Cr. Memo No. field on the purchase header or the External Document No. field on the sales header, depending on the document type that the ledger entry was posted from.

You cannot change the external document number because the entry has already been posted.
