Extra field if using the Invoicing module

If you have accessed the Payment Methods list from Accounts > Set Up > General Accounts Set Up > Payment Methods, there will be an extra field, as shown - "Payment Method Default Text".

As the text on the page states, this text will appear at the bottom of each page of a printed Invoice for this payment method. This means it can be used (as shown) to give specific instructions for how the customer should proceed depending on the payment method e.g. BACS payment instructions.


Where used

The Payment Methods drop-down list is used for the options in the "Payment Method" field on org/person Details screens.

Reporting outputs

Data entered in the Payment Method field is available:

  • in Data Extractions, both as a selection criteria and as a column to be added to an output spreadsheet
