Reference Number for Payments Out

I do not use the Purchase Invoices feature - but I do, of course, make payments to Suppliers against either invoices or to record payments that have been taken from our bank account by Direct Debit or Standing Order.

As far as I can see, there is no field on a Money Paid Out transaction in which to record a Reference No / Identifier, for example the Suppliers Invoice Number.

This would be a very helpful feature and would aid payment reconciliation.

Hi Alan,

Yes, having a supplier transaction ID field could be useful. Bear in mind that the more fields we add, the more intimidating to novice users. We'll note this as an option for future development.

It shouldn't be too complicated for novice users to have an extra field that they can use to reference the reason forthe payment, surely. It is less complex than using the Purchase Invoice screen

Hi Alan,

I've noted this as a feature request in our system. One work-around is to include the supplier reference in the Journal Memo field.

Regards,
