Accounts Receivable - Cash Receipts The customer check number field is too small. 8 characters is not enough.
Many check numbers today are more than 8 characters. If you put an abbreviated check number in the check number field, you have a difficult time referencing that number if you need to.
I run into this issue all the time - forced to use date instead.
I agree. Many customers are BIG companies with automated payments with Payment References > 8 characters.
