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.
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.
