Given so few cheques are written nowadays and most payments are made electronically with associated payment reference numbers >8 characters, could the number of characters in the cheque number field be increased substantially (similar to Supplier Inv No. field) and the name changed to Payment Number.

Agree. should be easy for the programmers to "double" this data field to 16 characters - better still, to 32 (as some bank transaction IDs have up to 18 characters)

I really hope that MYOB will implement this suggestion. I believe, it will help a lot of MYOB user. In order to comply with latest requirements and business needs, we really need to change our numbering system. please notify me once this suggestion is implemented.
- Izzat8810 years agoUser
for instance, this type of numbering is basically what our business need, however, MYOB has limitation on this type of numbering(more than 8 characters). example, "TT1501001" for payment that made by TT. 15 means year, 01 means January, 001 means no of transaction. this type of numbering is not possible by using current MYOB application. if we have many banks, we would need to differenciate the banks payment such as "MBTT1501001".
Having said that, I really hope that MYOB implement this suggestion, not only for chq number, also for Received money #, Inv# etc.
I would suggest that MYOB will add the lenght for atleast 16 character.

Hello Mohd,
If you omit the prefix letters then you will find that the number will increment automatically.
for example of you change the number for the first January 2015 transaction to 1501001, and record this then the next transaction will have the number 1501002 etc.
Cheers

Hi David, Thanks for your suggestion. I believe your suggestion can be implemented. however, the prefix letter is important in our case. for payment it is "TT", for receipt "CR".. all numbering type are the same. what makes they differ is the prefix letter. again, thanks for your suggestion.

Hello Mohd,
Instead of using at alpha prefix then you could use the numbers 1-9.
For example 1 =TT ie 11501001
CR =2 ie 21501001
Why would you want to change the reference for a receipt as the system auto numbers them and the transaction date shows when the funds were received?
Cheers

Hi,
You need to be able to capture pre defined receipt numbers for trust accounts.(SAles)
The current field is to small for QLD, possibly its the same in other states.
The receipt numbers also have alpha prefixes.
Cheers,
Paul
