Sometimes I need to process a number of invoices of several different dates and different Suppliers. When I go to the screen ‘Purchase Invoices’ the sorting of invoices is default by invoice date and then alphabetically by Supplier, and thus mixing MY flow of processing invoices by date and then just by the next one and NOT alphabetically. Could it be made possible to sort the screen ‘Purchase Invoices’ by invoice date and then by the order I did make the invoice instead of by Supplier name?
Actually, your impressions about default sorting are incorrect. This is the sorting algorithm for both sales and purchase invoices:
- Overpaid invoices first as these are bookkeeping errors
- Then unpaid invoices
- Then paid invoices
Within each group, invoices are sorted in reverse date order, that is, newest first. Depending on the nature of your business (mostly frequency of invoices and promptness of paying) and names of customers/suppliers, a list can appear quite convincingly to have been generated in some other order.
Allright, thanks for your reply!
