Additional Information

Our AR module was rewritten from version 11.3 to 2018.1 and up, about 4-5 years ago. One of the changes that was part of the rewrite was batch number structuring. Each batch type will now have its own numbering convention. Payment batches, reversal batches, refund batches, transfers etc. Each batch will now have a different starting batch number. The numbers may repeat, but only in a different batch type. So you may have a payment batch and a reversal batch with the same number, but would never have 2 payment batches with the same number after the upgrade. The migration process had to go through all of the data in your system and create batch numbers for things like tenders/adjustments and bills (all of which didn't matter in 11.3 and prior). That is why you are seeing the vast jump in batch numbers. All of our clients that have upgraded from 11.3 have seen this change.
