Bank Feeds: Rules - Ability to match description of bank transaction with that of the invoice number

Our business receives hundreds of small payments each month from hundreds of different customers.  Our customers are well trained to include the Invoice Number in the payment reference field, which then comes into MYOB on the bank feed.

 

What we'd like is a bank feed rule that is smart enough to match the number in the payment reference field against an open invoice number, and if the invoice amount also matches, then create a Receive Payment against the invoice ready for Approval.

 

This would save us a large amount of time each month.

    PLEASE MYOB. THIS IS SUCH A SIMPLE THING TO IMPLEMENT AND WOULD SAVE US SO MUCH TIME!

     

    YES I'M YELLING AS IT IS THAT IMPORTANT.

     

    SO LITTLE WORK FOR YOU TO SAVE SO MUCH WORK FOR YOUR CUSTOMERS.

     

    PLEASE DO THIS ASAP.

     

    IT HAS BEEN REQUESTED FOR 7 YEARS!!! IT IS A NO-BRAINER... WHY WOULDN'T YOU JUST DO THIS AS A NATURAL IMPROVEMENT IN YOUR OWN PRODUCTION IDEA TIMELINE?

     

    WHERE IS HE INOVATION? COMPETITION DRIVES INOVATION, BUT YOUR CUSTOMERS ARE THE SIMPLEST SOURCE OF INOVATION. PLEASE START LISTENING TO THEM.

  • Totally agree, we have multiple payments for the same amount and with no invoice number on the bank feed, and no way to match the reference number to an invoice it is really time wasting and confusing.

    The ability to search for an invoice number from within the bank feed/receive payment window goes a long way to addressing this but having a rule would be better!

  • This would help so much. I have to write all the invoice numbers down on paper than go and search them all then go back to bank feeds to apply them. It's really annoying.
