Hello,
This indeed was a change done based on partner request.
EFT Banking export uses internal document for payment reference.
Partners feedback was that it is weird that we cannot use the External Document No., Payment Reference or Message to Recipient for this purpose.
The Vendor would like to see their number in there, and not the BC internal document number linked to their information. It would be much easier to identify if we could use the vendor number than the internal information.
The ideal would be maybe a setup where the user could select to use:
- Document No. --> we currently use this one with no other option
- External Document No.
- Payment Reference
- Message to Recipient
At least, 1 of them, so the user could select the External information to be exported in the EFT file, and not our internal Document No. which means nothing for the vendors.
Based on this we swapped to Payment reference which makes has more relevance.
The change can be first found in v17.6 and as a result also in v18.
