Is it possible to change the “creditor statement” name to “Payment Advise”?  
I have customers and suppliers that is the same company and it is confusing to name the creditors advise a statement.

See attached document of the previous program I have used.[AJ Bolts.PDF](https://forum.manager.io/uploads/short-url/pak5O4UImpw30IzMNZ5J6PhEBC7.PDF) (98.0 KB)

Not sure why it is confusing to call a statement a “Statement” - this is exactly what it is a statement of the state of the account.

The reports Customer Statements (Transactions) and Supplier Statements (Transactions) support using Custom Themes

You can use a Custom Theme to change the title of the report

First of all, no report in Manager is named _Creditor Statement_ or _Creditor Advise_. All customer and supplier statements of both types are titled simply _Statement_. And as @Joe91 wrote, a statement in accounting is a statement.

Second, if you want to avoid confusion, do not rename a statement as a payment advise. An advise/advice (depending on your preferred spelling), is something else. An advice documents a specific transaction, such as a payment, not the state of a customer’s or supplier’s account.

Third, when another company is both a customer and a supplier, statements from Manager will not combine their activities as both. A customer statement will include only their buying activity. A supplier statement will include only their selling activity. So if you really want to avoid confusion, you should rename statements by adding the descriptive terms, _Customer_ or _Supplier_.

Finally, if you insist on renaming statements, instructions are found in this Guide: [https://www.manager.io/guides/7877](https://www.manager.io/guides/7877).

I have changed the name in the “theme” tab but it still do not want to change.

Can you please advise?

You just replace the {{title}} with the Text that you want

`<td style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 32px">New statement title </td>`

It looks like you do not have the correct brackets - it was {{title¦ replace…}} but however uploaded the image, it isn’t clear enough to see what you have keyed in

Agree,

The remittance advise is not the same as a statement just as @Tut has already described:

> [@Tut](#):

The remittance advise is an notice (advice) that a payment has been made (remitted). A statement on the other hand is a disclosure of the total account balance whether to be paid or not.

I guess what you really need is to show the allocation of your payments inside of your receipts / payment and for that you can `copy` the statements to a new receipt or payment and have those (payment or receipt) show the titles: Remittance Advice and Credit Advice respectively.
