Spend/Receive money

1

I read the other day about how all the banking side of things has changed, one thing I was hoping would be incorporated (natively! I know I could do it with custom fields) is to have the receipt number for bank transfers. I actually use the receipt number in the receive/spend money tabs to record the transaction number issued by the bank.

  1. They issue it even for intra-bank transfers (not so important)
  2. They issue it for INTER-bank transfers (more important)

Given that all the company accounts are not with one bank, the transaction ID is recorded for all transfers even within our own accounts (I now include it in the description field, although for suppliers I actually use the receipt field that is provided) since some of those accounts are with other banks.

It would be handy if the receipt number was available in that area (bank transfers)

While on bank transfers, and I know it’s only one click, but it is a drop down click:

do we REALLY need a drop down for “New Bank Transaction”? It IS the only button up there, and there is only Import, Spend and Receive. Since I use the Spend and receive all the time that was a PITA (not too uncomfortable though) :wink: when I realised.

Same with the “Cash Transactions”, Two buttons, spend/receive. Do they need to be hidden under a drop down?

@Lubos, AMAZING software as I’ve said before.

Still waiting to see a few minor (and big) things but keep up the awesome work!

  • Breadcrumbs: how are they looking?
  • I personally would love to see some linkage between client/customer/supplier/person IDs between the customer, supplier and cash tabs (I’ll explain my use case below)
  • In the summary tab: I’d still like to see an option for given periods as well as today. It really is a PITA when I have to select a period. I have to manually set both the from and to fields and they change considerably considering what I’m evaluating. Setting it to today mucks it all up (but I spend most of my time on today)
  • Recurring purchases, although I’ll ask the broader question elsewhere, I need a better solution. Can we have recurring payments/invoices in the same way we have payslips and Sales Invoices? It would certainly help my summary tab that has next months mega rent hanging over us prematurely.

Being the sort of business we are there are a lot of cash transactions. Some I just can’t avoid, they’re just not the sort of business that provide invoices (convenience, I could ASK). I do get receipts, but they’re not a commitment to pay, they’re a (cash) payment.

I have had 3 suppliers who have been providing receipts of late and I just paid COD, but occasionally I pay electronically. 2 of them have just gone electronic only! (they moved away but we still do business, just not multiple times a day).

I’d still like a way to link suppliers in my purchase orders (suppliers generally) with “Payees” of the cash accounts. For these three suppliers specifically, I have payments spread over and it IS a pain.

Manager now automatically assigns a reference number on inter account transfers. This can be edited if you want to substitute a bank-supplied number. But for inter-bank transfers, you would have multiple transaction numbers, so which would you assign?

I think the point of this was consistency with other tabs. For example, in Journal Entries, the button says “New Journal Entry”. It also serves to remind you that you are making a bank transaction instead of a cash transaction since the tabs were separated.

This is already on the Ideas list and has been since inception of the list.

Also previously requested many times.
