Hi. I used to be able to see who the Payee was when going into an account. This option is no longer there. Can I customize what I can see in the account. ---

The payee’s name is added to the description (View from inside the bank or cash account). For Example, if you paid $10 to Michael Jackson for entertainment, the Description will be presented as 'Entertainment Fees — Michael Jackson" under the Description column. If you view the same transaction from the Receipt and Payment tab. There is a separate column for Payees or Recipients (Under the “Contact” Column). ---

I think this was changed in a recent version so maybe you need to update ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/manager1/original/3X/f/5/f5139501701c2e6fea6eaf746165d7064ccbab72.png) ---

OK I get it now. The payee is not shown in the accounts now. @Joe91 which version are you using? ---

V 20.8.53. I am adventurous when it comes to software and update regularly ---

Payer is used in two context in Manager - Expense claim payer - Payment / Receipt payer / payee I suspect @Joe91 and @Minus2 are looking at different things My preference is - Payment / receipt payer to be replaced by customer / Supplier as described in [Improvement to payment and receipt forms](https://forum.manager.io/t/improvement-to-payment-and-receipt-forms/9179) - On Summary page drill down of accounts I would find an icon for attachments more valuable. ---

I think you are misunderstanding @Minus2, I think he wants a column for the name he enters for Payers/Payees to show as a column on summary page drill down. ---

I had assumed that is what @Minus2 wants however - that is not what @Joe91 has shown. - Nor is it something I would value as I would get better value from using the screen real estate for other things. I would prefer to have cash purchases linked to suppliers and cash sales linked to customers. Implementing this would make receipt / payment payer / payee of limited relevance. ---

@Abeiku, you are spot on. That is what I want… ---

It always used to show the Payee, but after I did an update yesterday… this is no longer the case ---

It a helpful column. For example, with my withholding tax payable workflow, I export the transactions in my withholding tax payable account to work with it. I do my deductions on the Payment Form. ![Annotation 2020-08-19 132526](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/manager1/original/3X/9/7/972218698634f73f99765f708fce58f39209653d.jpeg) I need the names of the Payees to show in the exported record from the withholding tax account (7.5% withholding tax account in this example) to help me easily prepare my tax returns document (Tax credit certificates will be generated for these Payees/suppliers). I copy the relevant columns (Transaction date, Reference, Payee, Credit column) straight to the tax returns form. @lubos It would be nice to have the column back again. Unless of course, you have a better thing coming up soon. ---

Is there a reason not to have a single “Contact” column. Which could contain - Customer for sales - Supplier for purchases - Payee for expense claims - Employees for a payslip item - Payer / payee for payment/receipt where none of the above are defined ---

That would be great too. But how soon can we have that? ---
