Depending on how you are entering your "receipt" into the batch in Cashbook, the receipt CAN print the number you have typed into the "Deposit number" field if this is what you want.

You must edit your receipt specification and use the spec code %M3 to use the information from the Deposit Number field.

If you use a different field to enter this number, then please post another reply to tell us what field you are using to enter the number into.

Please note that after editing the specification using CB's Housekeeping | Maintain Specifications, you must SAVE the specification, then you must make the changed spec "ACTIVE" by choosing the "Make active" option when you are taken back to the main "Maintain Specifications" window.

ALSO You can't have CB use this number instead of the receipt/deposit number it automatically generates, however you CAN change the number that is in the Receipt number field by pressing <Enter> on the selected transaction at the bottom of this window. You will then be presented with an option dialogue box, where you can choose "Edit". Press Enter to move to the Receipt number field and enter the number you want. (It will only accept numeric characters - no alpha or other characters.)

Hope this helps.
Regards,

Unfortuneately no, you cannot have the auto-receipt number be inserted into the Deposit# field. The reason for this is that a Deposit can actually have multiple receipts. If you were to create a batch/entry, and within that batch entry - that can only have a single Deposit# - enter multiple details, you would see that the same deposit number (%M3) prints on each receipt, but the auot-receipt numbers are different.

I'd agree that this would be a convenient option, but these fields are used for 2 different purposes and can't integrate in the suggested way.
