I don't know about the BAS account template, but my accounts have the num column as well. I thought it was used for ordering transactions that occur on the same date. Personally, I just stopped using it because it rarely matters for me the order of multiple transactions in the same day.

Looking at this page on gnucash.org now (1), it's referred to as just "optional Num (such as a check number)". Hope that helps.
