Supplier customer account number

Post by LondonGIrl » 31 Jan 2018, 11:38

Hi

Just wondering which field people use to record our customer number on a supplier record, so that it can be included in remittances etc.

Thanks

You could use one of the analysis fields.

Hi Bruce, I was wondering the same thing. Is this the best possible field to use for this? We'd just like to make sure before we start doing this.
I think these tried and tested probiotics would help anyone.

"The best possible" depends on what else you need to do.

If you desperately need to use the Analysis fields for something else then it is not the best possible, however, this is something that could be changed later if you need to, you can export the data and import it back into a different field and then change the layouts to match.

It is a the best starting point, not least because you can change the label on the field to some thing meaningful Like "Our Account Ref".

We don't really use remittance advices any more, we pay and get paid predominantly by BACS and the sending account reference is what we use to map receipts to customer accounts. Sometimes we get customers who correctly quote the account reference on the payment but we do not rely on it. The remittance advices are not really of much value, we don't even read them unless there is a problem matching a payment.

It is a sign of the times that things are changing.
