That’s an idea from left field.
I can see functionally eliminating “cash” transactions and replacing them with quick invoice payment/receipt pair may make the program perspective more consistent however I’m less sure about
-
Increased user complexity distributing a single user entry over 2 tabs / data entry location
-
updating historical records to take advantage of reporting associated with the new data entry model.
To follow my interpretation of this idea through
-
Bank rules could have a create invoice option which would 1) create an invoice based on the bank rules 2) Link the payment/receipt to Accounts receivable/payable → Customer/Supplier → invoice number
-
Cash sales/purchases could be done from the invoice tab by adding an option for “Cash” Sale/Purchase enabling selection of a bank account and resulting in generation of a payment/receipt to Accounts receivable/payable → Customer/Supplier → invoice number
-
A “Move to invoice” option analogous to the existing “Copy to” menus could be used to convert payments/receipts entered the old way (resulting in creation of an invoice and linking the receipt/payment to it). I suspect is the button @joris_manager would really like with the current program design.
Overall this sounds like a major change in Managers user interface. It may work well but I worry it is more complex than just showing current “Cash” transactions in customer/supplier reports.
