Cheque numbers not showing on coding reports

[Caseyw]

When i run coding reports in the new MYOB Essentials the Cheque numbers are not pulling through onto the report.

The cheque numbers are in the statement description field in the bank account.

Anyone else having this problem? Or know how to fix ?

Thanks

Hi @Caseyw 

By default, the Coding report will not show the reference number of the MYOB Essentials transaction that has been generated, only how the transaction has been coded i.e. what accounts it was recorded against.

In your post, you referred to a value in the description of the bank transaction, this will appear in the Description field of the transaction or if the description has been edited the Notes field:

Hi Steven

The cheque numbers are in the "Description of transaction field" (not a reference field)

They have always come through onto the coding reports in the description field up until around mid October.

I have attached screenshots so you can see what i am referring to.

I spoke to support and they tell me its a known issue and development are working on it...?

However, i am looking for a work-around solution  ASAP so i can send the reports to clients to complete.

Thank you

Hi @Caseyw 

Currently, with descriptions on the coding report, the original description would show on that report. This is the one that would have been included as part of the import of the bank statement. Note: While a user can change the description within the Bank Transactions, this will not flow through to the coding report, will show in the Notes section on that report.

You also mentioned a situation we have identified in which migrated Connected Ledger Essentials transactions will not show that description in that report.  This is something that has been raised with the required team, however, we don't have a timeframe for resolution at this time.

We are having the same issue. I have a number of clients that still use cheques. Can we have the option of adding the reference number to the coding reports, which would then show the cheque number? Also, being able to sort the coding report by reference number would also be good, similar to the old BankLink coding reports.

Hi @DaryleM 

Currently, the coding report is a set report, apart from updating the report options (adding cents and the currency symbol), the user is not able to customise that report to add in additional information. Adding the reference number to that report may possibly be a future candidate for the product, although, I haven't heard it is something that we are looking at this time for that report.
