Resolution/Fix/Answer

• PENTA uses a table of sequential numbers to determine which numbers get assigned to direct deposits 
• If a users cancels a process, the direct deposit numbers are not reused.
• Accounts Payable and Payroll direct deposits use the same set of sequence numbers
• The direct deposit numbers appear on several reports as a unique identifier and to clearly identify the payments as direct deposits and not checks
