When coding entries why do you have to select a supplier or customer if the payment or deposit doesnt relate to a sale or purchase? – should only have to enter this if applying to an invoice.
As a user, I want the ability to enter payments or receipts without a contact
Hi John. To be honest there are a LOT of underlying database changes to make in order for this to happen, and 28 votes over 4 years, and the fact that you can also create a default, generic contact to use on a sales receipt means there is a simple process in order not to have to create a specific contact. ** We use this same approach for our Fast Coding screen. Contact is not mandatory, however we do use a contact called DEFAULT CONTACT due to the database restriction.
That said, we do have long-term plans to come up with a solution which will need a user interface change, and hence why it's a long-term consideration.
When might we see this implemented? 4 years is a long time!
What would be a better way to get around this?
