Cheque Numbers - Turn OFF and replace with a fixed string 'EFT' as default, editable to 'CASH' as required.

Replace Cheque Numbers with 'EFT' or 'Cash' strings.   We don't use cheques (who does?  Anyone?) so the chq number has to be manually edited every. single. time. you do a payment, either from an invoice or 'spend money'.  And if you edit the string before you pick the account, it resets it to a number again.  Driving us nuts.

Agree Chq Numbers are a waste of time.

With recurring entries, you can have a default chq number eg Foxtelmo.

Oh?  How does one do that?   That would be a big help.   We just need 'EFT' as the default, and, on a few rare occasions, 'CASH' - every now and then someone forgets and a cheque number is left on, the accountant bungs on a tizzy on looking for cheques that don't exist.

Under Recurring Transaction, select 'use the following as the Cheque No.'

MYOB should have a default Cheque Number being EFT.

I put the Supplier's Name as the Cheque Number.

As an Accountant, I would not be concerned over a cheque number.

An Accountant does not conduct an Audit and in my view does not have to tract all cheque numbers.
