Entering supplier invoice number in V4.84

robtheone

I have just upgraded Express Accounts to version 4.84 from version 4.82 and find the transaction Reference field in the "enter new accounts payable" (formally "Enter a bill to be paid later") is no longer there, it used to give a PRC[AUTO] which although incremented the number, could be overwritten with the suppliers invoice number which also appeared on the suppliers statement and in the journal, Any ideas as to how I now enter my suppliers invoice numbers? I have reported this as a bug to NCH but had no response as yet.

Enter it in 'Memo' field. It appears both in Journal and Supplier's Statement.

Yes this does work, however I felt the previous method was better and simpler, it allowed the suppliers invoice number to appear on the suppliers statement under the Invoice column which was more logical than a meaningless (to the supplier) PRC number when I send a cheque (with the statement) to the supplier. Most accounts packages I have evaluated have a separate field to enter the suppliers invoice number. Thank you for your prompt reply to my question.

Also, I Just realised, in the accounts payable report I can no longer see the suppliers invoice number in the "ref" column which is was very useful to track an invoice to a payment, I think the PRC number is meaningless, it would be useful to have the reference field back.
